I am a Scholarly Teaching Fellow at the University of Adelaide.

I’m interested in differential geometry and mathematical physics. In particular, my research has been focussed on bundle gerbes and infinite-dimensional geometry, and applications to quantum field theory and string theory.

I also have an interest in mathematical education. You can find links below to my papers in mathematics and education.
