General info
About me
I am a Professor in the Mathematics Institute at the University of Warwick in the Geometric Analysis Group. Prior to this I was a Professor in the Geometry Group at University College London (UCL) and an Emmy Noether Junior Research Group Leader at Free University Berlin.
Here is my CV (updated Sep 2024).
Research interests
My work is in Differential Geometry, Partial Differential Equations and Geometric Analysis. I am especially interested in geometric flows (mean curvature flow, Ricci flow, etc), minimal surfaces and Willmore surfaces and their applications to geometric, variational and topological problems.
!News!
- My PhD student Lucas Lavoyer recently passed his viva! Congratulations! He will soon start a postdoc position at the University of Münster with C. Böhm and B. Wilking.
- New job openings at the Warwick Mathematical Institute: 2 Asisstant/Associate Professorships and 2 Warwick Zeeman Lectureships. Strong candiates, especially from underrepresented groups, are very much encouraged to apply, independently of the field! The deadline is 13 Oct 2024.
- My paper with O. Chodosh, K. Choi and C. Mantoulidis on "Mean curvature flow with generic inital data" was recently published in Inventiones.
- I will be giving a plenary talk on "Mean curvature flow with generic initial data" at the 16th Panhellenic Geometry Conference in Athens, Greece from 27-29 Sep 2024.
- Recent lecture notes for MA263 - Multivariable Analysis and MA3D9 - Geometry of Curves and Surfaces are now available under the teaching tab.
- PhD positions available: if you are interested in a PhD under my supervision, please see here for details and the application procedure. Don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail if you have any questions beforehand!
