My research
I am a fifth year postgraduate student at the Mathematics Institue of the University of Warwick. My supervisor is Professor Miles Reid.My main research area is Algebraic Geometry. I am currently working on the existence of crepant resolutions in dimension greater than three, G-Hilbert schemes and the McKay Correspondence. I submitted my thesis Crepant resolutions and A-Hilbert Schemes in four dimensions in April 2011.
Conferences and seminars
Gavin Brown, Alexander Kasprzyk, Dan Ryder and I organised the Graduate workshop on K3 surfaces and multigraded rings, 6-8 April 2009, University of Warwick.I was the principal organiser of the Calf (junior COW) between June 2007 and December 2009.
I organised graduate reading seminars at Warwick between September 2007 and December 2009, and in the academic year 2007-2008 I coorganised the Warwick algebraic geometry seminar.
