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 Oct 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 paper with O. Chodosh and J. Daniels-Holgate on "Mean curvature flow from conical singularities" has recently been published in Inventiones.
  • The next Brussels-London Geometry Seminar will take place on 22 January 2025 at ULB in Brussels. The topic will be "Minimal Surfaces" with Isabel Fernández, Giada Franz and Anna Skorobogatova as speakers.
  • 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.
  • My paper with O. Chodosh, K. Choi and C. Mantoulidis on "Mean curvature flow with generic inital data" is now published in Inventiones.
  • 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!

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