Further details

I am a Doctoral Student at the Mathematical Institute, supervised by Christopher Hollings (Maths) and Robert Iliffe (History), researching the History of Mathematics, focusing in particular on set theory and the role of politics in the foundational crisis of mathematics. I also have an interest in the relationship between mathematical and religious belief, and the History of Science more broadly.
