If you would like me to supervise your Honours or Masters thesis, you need to have completed "Advanced Functional Analysis, Spectral theory and Applications" and/or "Stochastic Analysis with Financial Applications". If you would like me to supervise you for a PhD, have a look at my Research papers, and make sure you can understand some of the proofs. Find out about the application process here.
I currently do not have capacity to take on a new PhD student wishing to start in 2026.
I do not have funding for postdoctoral positions available at the moment, but the MSI is advertising two exceptional postdoc opportunities (the teaching load is minimal, and the positions come with their own research funding). Deadline is on 4th January 2026. I'm certainly keen to work with a postdoc again, and I have got all sort of projects that could be done in collaboration with other MSI colleagues, including Andrew Hassell, Po Lam Yung, Alexandria Rose (Laura Cladek), Galina Levitina, or James Tener. Come and join us!
