Interacted mostly with the late Juha Heinonen and the analysis group.
Spent the 2004-5 academic year on leave at the MPIM.
1997 - 2003, Department of Mathematics, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, USA
PhD student
Advisor: Yi-Zi Huang
Thesis: Schiffer variation in Teichmueller space, determinant line bundles and modular functors.
Also took a lot of courses on vertex operator algebras from Jim Lepowsky. This was the major topic of my oral qualifying exams.
1996 - 1997, School of Mathematical Sciences, Adelaide University, Australia
PhD program (was enrolled for 18 months before going to the USA).
Advisor: Alan Carey
Topic: Fractional quantum hall effect. Rigorous techniques using functional analysis, loop groups, boson-fermion correspondence and so on.
1992 - 1995, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Queensland, Australia
BSc (3 yrs) + honours (1yr). (Mathematics and a lot of physics)
Advisor: Tony Bracken
Thesis: "Quasi-exactly solvable models in quantum mechanics". These models are ones in which a finite part of the spectrum can be found exactly. The Hamiltonians are built from differential operators whose Lie algebra has a finite-dimensional representation. Here is a short review article by Peter Olver. The field has grown and is still active.
