Places Mathematics Has Taken Me

Mathematics is supposed to be something you do at a desk, and mostly it is. But it also keeps putting me on planes. Every marker below is somewhere a talk, a visit, a programme, or a conference has taken me — click one to see what happened there.

Outside Mathematics

Outside mathematics, I try to keep space for parts of life that unfold differently from research. I write poetry — not with the ambition of publishing, but as a way of slowing down and paying attention. It helps me notice rhythm, silence, and nuance in ways that mathematics sometimes hides behind formalism. I also read constantly: literature, philosophy, essays, whatever expands perspective or challenges the way I see the world.

Friends with Websites

I’m lucky to have brilliant friends building beautiful things — in mathematics, physics, AI, and beyond. Here are some of their corners of the internet:

  • Juliana G. F. Souza — Quaternion algebras, information theory, coding theory, and lattice constructions.
  • Daniel Fadel — Differential geometry and geometric analysis.
  • Andrés J. Moreno — Geometric flows of G2-structures and calibrated submanifolds.
  • Arpan Saha — Differential geometry of moduli spaces.
  • Udhav Fowdar — Special holonomy manifolds.
  • Edward Hirst — Application of machine learning methods to problems in mathematical and theoretical physics.
  • Elli Heyes — Machine learning and data science techniques to study structures in mathematics and theoretical physics.
  • Tancredi Schettini Gherardini — Intersection of pure mathematics, artificial intelligence, and theoretical physics.
  • Jakob Stein — Geometric analysis, gauge theory, and Riemannian manifolds with special geometric structures.
  • Henrique K. Miyamoto — Information theory.
  • Benjamin Suzzoni — Superconformal field theory, holography, and machine learning.
