We consider the orbits of lattice subgroups of semisimple groups acting on homogeneous spaces. We will give general lower and upper bounds on the rate of approximation of a point on the space by a generic orbit. We will then give a sufficient criterion of when these bounds match, and describe many cases in which the criterion holds. This yields best possible results in a host of natural Diophantine approximation problems on homogeneous algebraic varieties. Based on joint Work with A. Ghosh and A. Gorodnik
