Sadleirian Professor of Pure Mathematics
Research Interests: Algebraic and Geometric Topology, in particular: mapping class groups, moduli spaces, cobordism categories, spaces of manifolds, surgery, configuration spaces, characteristic classes, K-theory and applications of homotopy theory to geometry.
