Personal Biography
I grew up just south of Manchester and moved to Oxford as an undergraduate to study for an MMath in mathematics at The Queen's College. I first came to Corpus Christi during my DPhil, teaching in the college as a Garside Scholar. After my doctorate I spent time in North America working for the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, with a short research stay at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley. I moved back to Oxford in 2017, first as a Titchmarsh Research Fellow, and now as a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the Mathematical Institute.
Research and Teaching
I am a member of the Oxford Topology Group, with much of my research in an area called geometric group theory. Groups are algebraic objects, and my research involves bringing algebra to life through geometry and topology in order to improve our understanding of how groups behave.
