Enric Solé-Farré
Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics
University College London & Imperial College London
I'm a Ph.D. student at University College London and Imperial College London, under a co-supervision of Lorenzo Foscolo (University College London / Sapienza University of Rome) and Sir Simon Donaldson (Imperial College).
My research interest focuses on the interplay between differential geometry and topology and physical theories. I mainly focus on higher-dimensional gauge theory and special holonomy. I am currently working in the study of objects with conical singularities, and their moduli space.
