I received fundings from a LMS Early Career Fellowship and the EPSRC as a winner of a prestigious EPSRC Doctoral Prize .
As a pure mathematician, I work in a field called algebraic K-theory, a fascinating subject bridging algebra, geometry and topology. This is one of the purest, newest and technically most demanding fields of pure Mathematics and will certainly play a crucial role in the area over the next few decades.
More recently, as a pure/applied mathematician an I am also working in the field of Geometric Deep Learning, where, collaborating with both academics and private companies I study cutting edge techniques to solve real world problems coming from many different areas (e.g. biotech).
I got a PhD in Mathematics in 2019 from the University of Warwick, my advisor was Marco Schlichting.
Pure Maths:
Algebraic and Hermitian K-theory.
K-theory of form categories.
Algebraic geometry and homotopy theory.
Homotopical methods in algebraic geometry: A1-homotopy theory, motivic cohomology, homotopical algebra and derived categories .
Derived Algebraic Geometry.
Geometric Deep Learning and its interlinks with the above.
Applied Maths:
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
Geometric Deep Learning and its real world applications especially in the fields of medicine, pharmacology and biotechnology.
