Research opportunities
I have projects for prospective honours students and PhD students. This
would be in any of the areas of gauge theory, moduli space of Riemann
surfaces, minimal surfaces, applications of algebraic geometry to
integrable systems and
various mathematical physics related problems.
I currently supervise two PhD students.
- Norman Do works on the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces,
known also as the moduli space of curves or Riemann surfaces. His research
involves hyperbolic geometry, algebraic geometry and ideas from
mathematical physics.
- Thomas Handscomb works on surface bundles. His research
focuses on ideas of Morita who introduced characteristic classes of surface
bundles. This is related to the moduli space of Riemann surfaces.
