Jonathan Passant

As of October 2021 I am a Heilbronn Research Fellow at the University of Bristol, under the mentorship of Misha Rudnev. Prior to this, I completed my PhD at the University of Rochester, in Rochester, NY; my thesis advisor was Alex Iosevich.

My research is in discrete geometry, geometric incidence theory and geometric measure theory. In particular questions that arise from studying the structures of discrete point sets in real spaces. I am currently focusing on obtaining structure from geometric constraints.

Discrete geometry has also allowed me many opportunities to mentor undergraduate research. I was a mentor for the Polymath REU in 2020 which lead to a prize-winning paper.
