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. More about me ...

Here is my CV (updated Dec 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.

More about me

When I am not busy with mathematics, I am busy with this bunch of people - aka my family ;)  

Or spending time with friends - cooking, running, swimming, skiing and hiking ...
