Academic Achievements
- For publications and preprints, please see his provided links. Google Scholar profile is also available.
Research Experience
- Senior lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester, part of the dynamical systems group. Mentored Leticia Pardo Simon, Lawrence Lee, and Demi Allen as Postdocs, and Alex Batsis, Peej Ingarfeld, Alden Paige, and Milo Edwardes as PhD students.
Education
- PhD: University of Warwick, March 2011, supervised by Mark Pollicott; thesis: thermodynamic formalism for symbolic dynamical systems. Previously, EPSRC funded postdoc at the University of St Andrews with Kenneth Falconer, and worked with Karma Dajani at the University of Utrecht.
Background
- Current main interests: intersection of machine learning and ergodic theory; previously worked on applications of thermodynamic formalism to problems in fractal geometry and number theory, particularly Bernoulli convolutions and self-affine sets. Fringe interests include percolation and the graph reconstruction conjecture. Currently on a break from academia, working as an AI Fellow in Featurespace Innovation Lab in Helsinki.
Miscellany
- Originally from Derby, has lived in Coventry, Utrecht, Edinburgh, Helsinki, Thessaloniki, York, and Manchester. Regularly participates in Parkrun, currently learning Greek. His wife, Aspa, is a senior researcher at the VATT Institute for Economic Research in Helsinki.
