We will explain what Berglund-H\"ubsch-Krawitz (BHK) Mirror Symmetry entails for the case of K3 surfaces. BHK mirror symmetry provides a mirror for certain orbifold quotients of hypersurfaces in weighted-projective space. We will focus on talking about what is known about BHK mirrors and relating it to Dolgachev mirror symmetry. If time permits, we will talk about related joint work on arithmetic mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces. This talk should be fairly accessible to people currently studying for their oral exam in complex algebraic geometry.
