I'm a second year PhD student at the University of Reading, supervised by Dr Christopher Daw. I'm now looking at unlikely intersections for variations of (mixed) Hodge structures, especially the effective methods therein.
I enjoy writing reviews for zbMATH; my reviewer ID is 22179.

These are notes I typed for lectures I attended, not gave. In chronological order of when the lectures started. I claim no originality except potential errors.
Analysis III, Oleg Zaboronski
Introduction to group theory, Gareth Tracey
Groups and representations, Christian Ikenmeyer
Rings and modules, Dmitriy Rumynin
Elliptic curves, Yankı Lekili
Algebraic curves, Soheyla Feyzbakhsh
Algebra 3, Alessio Corti
Galois theory, Alexei Skorobogatov
Algebra 4, Oliver Gregory
Algebraic number theory, Margherita Pagano
Modular forms, Jens Funke
For personal use. I probably only have time to check them against the original once before putting them here.

finished
Yves André – G-functions and geometry (tex, pdf)
Shiing-Shen Chern – Complex manifolds without potential theory (with an appendix on the geometry of characteristic classes) (tex, pdf)

Music. A calendar of Bach church cantatas for 2026. A list of upcoming classical music concerts in the UK that follows a Michelin-Guide fashion (I sort them into three categories). With some friends, I compiled a (nearly complete) discography of the Japanese label Canyon Classics, who produced some of my favourite albums.
Other arts. My favourite poems. Stills from my favourite films.
Misc. Quotes. Jokes. A rant on dashes and hyphens. Portraits of people at the Parliament Square in London on the afternoon of 9th August 2025.
