Research
  • My main interests lie in geometric group theory, low-dimensional topology, and spaces of non-positive curvature
  • The best place to find all of my published papers, with reviews, is mathscinet
  • My ArXiv page. This is the best way to find more recent papers.
  • Here is a list bibliography with links to some older preprints
    • Seminars
  • Groups and Geometry in the South East

    • Oxford Seminars

  • Geometric Group Thoery (Tuesdays)
  • Topology (Mondays)
  • Geometry and Analysis (Mondays)
  • Algebra (Tuesdays)
    •  
    Books

    My book with Andre Haefliger, which won the 2020 Steele Prize

    • "I may say that this is the greatest factor -- the way in which the expedition is equipped --
    the way in which every difficulty is foreseen, and precautions taken for meeting or avoiding
    it. Victory awaits him who has everything in order -- luck, people call it. Defeat is certain
    for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time; this is called bad luck."

    (Roald Amundsen, The South Pole, p. 370)
