[TMS] Week 8 – Dr. Henry Wilton (Trinity College, Cambridge)

Leave a reply
Our sixth talk of the term is given by Dr. Henry Wilton (Trinity College, Cambridge). He will be talking about ‘Geometry without Calculus‘. Dr Wilton specialises in the fascinating area of geometric group theory, which overlaps with low-dimensional topology. More can be found on his website here https://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~hjrw2/.

Perhaps I’ll add more personally; I’ve had the pleasure of being supervised by Dr Wilton for 1B Geometry in the past, in addition to having him as my Director of Studies. I can confirm that this promises to be an excellent talk!

We look forward to seeing you there.
