James Stanfield
I am a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Münster.
I did my PhD at The University of Queensland under the supervision of Ramiro Lafuente.

Here is my CV.
My main research interests are in geometric analysis and complex geometry. In particular, the geometry of (not necessarily Kähler) Hermitian manifolds. I also enjoy the study of geometric structures/flows with symmetries.
