Mirror Symmetry - (yes, it's lame.... It's hard to take a good photo of oneself though.)
About Myself
I am currently a post-doc at the Institute for Algebraic Geometry, Universität Hannover , in Germany.
Between June 2004-2005 I was a post doctoral fellow at the Fields Institute ,
Toronto. My
main area of interest is the arithmetic of Calabi-Yau varieties and
Mirror Symmetry. I did a DPhil at the Mathematical Institute , Oxford , which was supervised by Prof.
Philip Candelas.
I did my undergraduate
degree and Part III
Mathematics at Trinity College ,
Cambridge .

I have always regarded numbers and letters to be extremely colourful,
it turns out that
this may not be insanity, but merely Synaesthesia .
