Seminar Series, Conferences & Workshops

This page lists the scientific events and initiatives I have helped shape, either as a member of an organising committee or by leading a research project.

• Actions and Intuition: Algebra via AI
  Member of the organising committee — August–September 2026, University of Bonn
  An upcoming workshop at the University of Bonn exploring the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning as tools for research in algebra and representation theory. The event brings together mathematicians and AI researchers to investigate how data-driven methods can guide intuition, generate conjectures, and reveal hidden structure in algebraic objects.
• QFT for the Unprepared
  Co-organiser — weekly seminar series, University of Bonn (with Quincy Frias and Kyungmin Rho)
  A weekly reading seminar held every Wednesday afternoon at the University of Bonn, designed for mathematicians and physicists with a background in mathematical physics who wish to learn quantum field theory rigorously. The seminar works through Michel Talagrand’s monograph What is a Quantum Field Theory?, with sessions on Dirac’s formalism, Stone’s theorem, the representation theory of the Poincaré group, and quantum harmonic oscillators, among other topics.
• London Geometry and Machine Learning (LOGML) 2025
  Project leader — 2025
  LOGML is an annual summer school and workshop bringing together researchers at the interface of geometry, topology, and machine learning. I led the project Looking for Einstein Metrics with Machine Learning, in which participants applied the AInstein framework to open problems in differential geometry, seeking numerical evidence on the existence of Einstein metrics on manifolds where no analytic result is currently known. This collaboration directly led to the preprint A Machine Learning Approach to the Nirenberg Problem.
• Quantum Field Theory, Gravity and Geometry
  Member of the organising committee — 19 March 2025, One Park Crescent, London
  A one-day SEPnet student-led conference bringing together PhD researchers from across the South East of England to discuss frontiers in theoretical and mathematical physics, with topics ranging from formal quantum field theory to supergravity. The programme featured plenary lectures by Neil Lambert (King’s College London) and Daniel Waldram (Imperial College London), alongside student talks, a poster session, and open discussion rounds. Organised jointly with Pietro Capuozzo, Julian Kupka, Benjamin Suzzoni, and Mitchell Woolley.
• SQUARE Seminars
  Co-organiser — ended :(
  An initiative for postgraduate students in theoretical physics and closely related areas, encompassing informal peer-to-peer research seminars, pedagogical interdisciplinary symposia (Square Symposia), and a planned summer school. The aim is to foster research communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration within the postgraduate community.
