Welcome!

I am a professor in mathematics at Cambridge and a fellow at St John's

I am interested in algebraic geometry with a focus on logarithmic and tropical geometry, and the application of these ideas to moduli and enumerative geometry. To get a flavour for these ideas, take a look at the linked articles in the Notices: I, II, and III. 

My work is supported by the UKRI Frontier Guarantee of a 2023 ERC Starting Grant.

I supervise students Ajith, Emily, Sae, Siao Chi, Terry, and Zoë. Alessio, Patrick, and Veronica are postdoctoral researchers associated with my group. You can get a sense of what people work on here.  We run a seminar

I will teach IB Groups, Rings, and Modules in Lent 2025.

I coordinate the Cambridge Summer Research in Mathematics Programme. You can read about work of my former students here.

I am an editor for the Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society.

Another recent picture. In earlier work with three collaborators, I helped recover certain artefacts. 

I support and believe in Federico Ardila's axioms.
