About Me
About Me
I am a professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Durham University. Previously I worked in the Department of Mathematics at Swansea University in Wales.
My research interests include
Topological data analysis, theory and applications
Tropical geometry, matroids, idempotent algebra, non-archimedean geometry
Topological field theory, topology of surfaces, moduli spaces, operads, cobordism, and related structures.
I am a member of the Oxford-Liverpool-Durham Centre for Topological Data Analysis, funded by EPSRC grant EP/R018472/1.
I am the Deputy Director of the EPSRC-funded 'Erlangen Programme for AI' research hub for the mathematical foundations of AI. (grant: EP/Y028872/1)

PhD and Postdoc funding
PhD and Postdoc funding
We regularly have fully-funded PhD scholarships in Durham. Please contact me if you are interested in working with me in an area related to my research interests (tropical geometry, topological data analysis, other aspects of topology). The application deadline for this funding is usually January each year.
Externally funded and self-funded students: I am always happy to receive applications from self-funded and externally funded prospective PhD students. If you are interested in working with me then please get in touch. For UK residents, the tuition fees for a PhD are currently approximately £4k per year. For international students, the fees are approximately £25k per year.
Axiom 1. Mathematical talent is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

Diane Maclagan and I delivered the 2019 WARTHOG summer school at University of Oregon. The topic of the week was Foundations of Tropical Geometry.
Pawel Dlotko and I organised an international conference on topological data analysis and computational topology. The event was funded by grants from the EPSRC and LMS.
