Professor Dominic Joyce FRS
Profile
I did a BA and DPhil in Mathematics at Oxford, and was a Junior Research Fellow in Mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. I was a University Lecturer in Mathematics at Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow in Pure Mathematics at Lincoln College from 1995- 006. In 2006 I moved to my current position, an RS4 professorial post at the Mathematical Institute, and became a Senior Research Fellow at Lincoln.
- Research

My research is in a broad range of areas in Geometry, including Differential Geometry, Algebraic Geometry, Symplectic Geometry, Derived Algebraic Geometry, and Derived Differential Geometry (a new subject I am inventing). A common theme is that I like thinking about different kinds of geometric space (for example, schemes, stacks, derived manifolds), the weirder the better, and applying them to solve problems in Geometry.
