I am a PhD researcher in number theory based in Howard House at the University of Bristol under the supervision of Harald Helfgott .

My research interests lie in Diophantine Geometry and currently concern studying Elliptic Curves which are a rich and beautiful part of mathematics.

I was previously in the pleasant field that is the University of Warwick, where I studied Mathematics & Philosophy.

Here are some pretty pictures.

I am currently enjoying the course in Scheme Theory set up by Ravi Vakil at Stanford and would encourage anyone who is looking to learn this subject to join in. The course is being run from a blog which can be found here and the latest version of the notes can be found hyar. Happy reading!
