Michael Savery
I am studying for a DPhil (PhD) in Mathematics at the University of Oxford under the supervision of
Alex Scott. I work in combinatorics, more specifically extremal and probabilistic
combinatorics. Before coming to Oxford I completed four years of undergraduate study in mathematics at Queens' College, Cambridge.
