Clark Barwick | |
I am interested in the connections between homotopy theory and arithmetic. In the past this meant thinking about algebraic K-theory. These days, I’m more interested in étale homotopy types and related invariants. | |
Arend Bayer | |
I have been working on questions in algebraic geometry motivated by string theory and mirror symmetry; for a while that meant Gromov-Witten theory, in the last few years mostly derived categories and stability conditions. Recently that has led me to very classical questions in algebraic geometry, via wall-crossing and birational geometry of moduli spaces. Google scholar ArXiv | |
Sjoerd Beentjes | |
I am interested in algebraic geometry, in particular the enumerative geometry of Calabi-Yau threefolds, such as (non-commutative) Donaldson-Thomas theory. In recent years, I have become interested in applications of pure mathematics and mathematical statistics to causal questions in population biomedicine and public health policy. | |
Ivan Cheltsov | |
I am birational geometer interested in K-stability and rationality of Fano varieties, subgroups of Cremona groups, polarized cylinders in rational varieties, and relevant classification type problems. You can find my papers here and pictures of my bike here. | |
Ben Davison | |
I work on applications of refined and categorified Donaldson-Thomas theory. This includes work in cluster algebras, quantum groups, nonabelian Hodge theory and enumerative geometry of 3-Calabi-Yau varieties and noncommutative varieties. | |
Tudor Dimofte | |
My research lies at the interface of theoretical physics and pure mathematics, inspired by the dual questions: What algebraic and geometric structures govern the behavior of elementary quantum particles and fields? Conversely, how can physics intuition be used to derive new predictions and results in algebra, geometry, and other branches of mathematics? | |
Iain Grant Gordon (Head of College) | |
I am interested in Lie theoretic representation theory and its connections with combinatorics, geometry and noncommutative things. You can find my papers on the arXiv, Google Scholar, MathSciNet, or my homepage. Not everything is on the arXiv. | |
Milena Hering | |
I am working on algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and combinatorics. My interests include positivity properties of line bundles and syzygies, toric varieties, and tropical varieties. Google scholar ArXiv | |
David Jordan | |
I study various algebraic systems which lie between representation theory and physics. More precisely, my research falls roughly into three distinct areas: firstly, I study tensor categories in their various flavors (fusion, braided, symmetric, stable oo-…) – their classification, and their representation theory. Secondly, I study the interplay between non-commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. Finally, I study quantization problems involving quantum groups, quantum orbit spaces, and their geometry. You can find my papers on the ArXiv. | |
Minhyong Kim (Director of ICMS) | |
My research is mostly in arithmetic geometry, the study of structures that have a combination of arithmetic and geometric natures, Recently, I’ve been mostly interested in the interface between arithmetic geometry and quantum field theory. You can see some of my papers listed on this webpage. | |
Dimitra Kosta | |
My research originally lay in the area of birational geometry, yet since then I have been interested in the interplay between algebra, geometry and statistics. My research interests have expanded to include algebraic statistics, phylogenetic algebraic geometry, computational commutative algebra and applied algebraic geometry. | |
Tom Leinster | |
Most of what I do is about category theory and its many applications, including some nonstandard ones such as geometric measure and aspects of both analysis and theoretical ecology. They are loosely unified by the themes of size and measurement. I am one of the hosts of the n-Category Café, a research blog where I have written about many of my interests. My papers, talks and blog entries can all be found through my home page. | |
Tom Lenagan | |
I am interested in noncommutative algebra, in particular in growth of algebras and quantum algebras. I’m also interested in totally nonnegative matrices. Click on my name to reach my webpage where publications are listed. | |
Antony Maciocia | |
My primary interests are in moduli spaces of objects in the derived category of sheaves on low dimensional algebraic varieties, especially Calabi-Yau varieties and more especially abelian and K3 surfaces. I am also interested in triangulated categories and hyperkahler geometry more generally. I am especially fond of the Fourier-Mukai transform as a means to understand the detailed structure of varieties and their moduli spaces of sheaves. See arxiv for a list of papers. | |
Johan Martens | |
I study algebro-geometric and symplectic structures of various moduli spaces, mostly with links to physics (gauge theory, conformal field theory, integrable systems). | |
Ana Rita Pires | |
I work in symplectic geometry, in particular using hamiltonian actions and moment maps. My work on degenerate symplectic structures — origami manifolds and b-symplectic or log-symplectic manifolds — led me to connections with toric topology, contact geometry, and Poisson geometry. More recently I have become interested in quantitative symplectic geometry by working on symplectic embedding problems. ArXiv | |
Jon Pridham | |
I work on applications of abstract homotopy theory to algebraic geometry. My research has two main strands: derived algebraic geometry, and homotopy theory of algebraic varieties (including arithmetic and motivic aspects). You can find my papers on the arXiv or my homepage. | |
Pavel Safronov | |
I am interested in problems lying at the intersection of representation theory (of quantum groups), algebraic geometry (in particular, derived algebraic and derived symplectic geometry) and mathematical physics (supersymmetric field theories, topological field theories, deformation quantization). | |
Alexander Shapiro | |
I am interested in representation theory and Poisson geometry. My work concerns quantum groups, cluster algebra, character varieties, and integrable systems. | |
Nick Sheridan | |
I work on homological mirror symmetry and symplectic topology. My papers are available on my webpage. | |
Sue Sierra | |
I am a noncommutative ring theorist, specialising in interactions between ring theory and algebraic geometry, particularly the use of geometric techniques to solve problems in algebra. I am particularly interested in birationally commutative algebras (graded algebras that embed in a skew polynomial extension over a commutative ring) and in graded domains of low GK-dimension. Much of my research is motivated by the programme to classify connected graded domains of GK-dimension 3. I am also interested in moduli problems for graded rings and in algebraic geometry, and recently I have begun to work on problems coming from Lie theory, particularly chain conditions in enveloping algebras of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras. My papers are available on my webpage. | |

I am broadly interested in topics at the interface between Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and mathematics. My recearch has largely focused on how algebro-geometric tools can help us to describe observables in supersymmetric QFTs, and on how (higher) category theory can be applied to the study of generalised symmetries. | |
Lucien Hennecart | |
My research revolves around Hall algebras, from their earliest version as convolution algebras on constructible functions on points on some moduli spaces (of quivers, of coherent sheaves on a curve) to more modern avatars involving cohomology, and the relations between them. | |
Jeff Hicks | |
I work in symplectic geometry and homological mirror symmetry. My research studies the relation between tropical geometry and symplectic geometry, and Lagrangian cobordisms. | |

I am interested in various mathematical aspects of the Chern-Simons theory: moduli spaces of flat connections, their quantizations, quantum groups. | |
Emily Roff | |
My research has to do with numerical and homological invariants of metric spaces that derive from an interpretation of a metric space as a type of enriched category. More generally, I am interested in enriched category theory and its applications within and beyond pure mathematics. | |
Iordanis Romaidis | |
James Timmins | |
