Topics in Spectral Geometry with Dan Mangoubi and Iosif Polterovich
INI Programme Geometric Spectral Theory and Applications, January–June 2026
I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Reading.
I am always interested to hear from candidates for a PhD or a postdoctoral position. Examples of some old and new research are below and elsewhere on this website.
