Research Interests: 

Moduli theory of (decorated, e.g. parabolic or Higgs) sheaves in algebraic geometry, geometric invariant theory (GIT), and symplectic geometry. In particular, I am interested in universal moduli of decorated sheaves on varying stable curves (i.e. moduli of pairs (C,E) of a curve C and a decorated sheaf E on C) and in moduli of (parabolic and Higgs) sheaves on a fixed nodal curve. I am working on constructions of such moduli spaces using GIT and I study their topology and geometry using (universal) matrix divisors.

Major/Recent Publications: 

Universal moduli of parabolic sheaves on stable marked curves - thesis, to be submitted very shortly.

Moduli of semistable parabolic sheaves on families of projective schemes - preprint, available on arXiv very shortly.

Universal moduli of parabolic sheaves on stable marked curves - preprint, available on arXiv very shortly.

Teaching: 

In 2011/2012 I am Stipendiary Lecturer in Mathematics at Keble College where I give tutorials and classes for a range of first- and second-year courses. In MT 2011, I teach Mods Linear Algebra I, Mods Geometry I, Mods Intro to Pure Maths, and Part A Algebra.

My previous teaching experience includes College Lecturerships at Merton College (2010/11) and Jesus College (Jan 2009 - June 2010). The first- and second-year courses which I have taught in tutorials and classes include:

- Mods: Linear Algebra I and II; Geometry I and II; Intro to Groups, Rings, Fields; Analysis III (Riemann integration).

- Part A: Algebra (further linear algebra and ring theory); Analysis (basic topology of Euclidean space and complex analysis); Intro to Fields; Group Theory; Topology; Number Theory.

In addition, I have been class tutor or teaching assistant for the following third-year courses:

Michaelmas Term 2009: class tutor for B9a Galois Theory, teaching assistant for B3a Geometry of Surfaces.

Hilary Term 2009: teaching assistant for B3b Algebraic Curves.

Michaelmas Term 2008: teaching assistant for B3a Geometry of Surfaces.

Hilary Term 2008: teaching assistant for B3b Algebraic Curves.
