Profile
Biography
I am a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Essex. Previously I held postdoctoral positions at the University of Bath, the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn (Germany), and the Johns Hopkins University (USA). You can find more details below, or at my website (linked at the bottom). My research is on algebraic and complex geometry, with focus on birational geometry of varieties of Fano type, moduli spaces and computational algebraic geometry. More specifically, I work on problems in the following areas: *) Existence of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics (including Kähler-Einstein metrics) and its relation to K-stability. *) Classification of varieties of Fano type. *) Compactification of moduli spaces and geometric invariant theory. *) Computational algebraic geometry.
