About Me
I'm a maths PhD Student (number theory, specifically) at the University of Sheffield. My supervisor is Tobias Berger. Before that, I was an undergraduate at the University of Bristol, where I did an integrated master's in maths.
I'm interested in the algebraic and algebro-geometric aspects of number theory, including Galois representations, automorphic forms, étale fundamental groups, and algebraic K-theory.
My master's project was supervised by Ross Paterson, and was on local fields and local class field theory, more specifically on the approach via Galois cohomology.
Outside of maths, I enjoy playing guitar and learning languages (currently Gaeilge, ach níl ach cúpla focail agam).
