Henry Dakin

Hi, I’m Henry. I’m currently a postdoc at the Technische Universität Chemnitz, working in the Combinatorial Synergies project "Combinatorial Hodge theory in singularity theory and toric geometry". I work in algebraic geometry and complex geometry. My research is mostly involved with D-modules and the applications of this theory to the Hodge theory of non-compact manifolds. Mixed Hodge modules and singularity theory play a large role in the background of this field. I am especially interested in the Hodge theory of hyperplane arrangements and tame divisors.

I am also interested in mirror symmetry, tropical geometry, algebraic stacks and moduli theory, Lie theory and algebraic groups, birational geometry. Also quantum mechanics and quantum field theory! Although I don’t claim to be an expert in any of these areas.
