about me

I am a lecturer at the Department of Mathematical Sciences of Durham University. My main area of research deals with (quantum) field theory, gravity and string theory, but I am also interested in applications of mathematics to biology, and in computer algebra. You will find more details on what I work on by visiting the other pages on this site.

Until recently, I was an NWO VIDI fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of Utrecht University, The Netherlands. Before that, I was at the Albert-Einstein-Institute for Gravitational Physics in Golm, Germany, at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, at DAMTP in Cambridge, UK and at NIKHEF in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
