Research Interests
I am interested in classifying complex manifolds (in particular, projective manifolds) by means of the curvature of metrics that reside on them. I find Kobayashi hyperbolic manifolds (defined, for compact complex manifolds, by the non-existence of holomorphic maps from the complex line into them) particular fascinating. A folklore generalisation of a conjecture made by Kobayashi I find particularly enchanting: A compact Kobayashi hyperbolic manifold is projective and canonically polarised. Links to the existence of rational curves on Calabi--Yau manifolds and moduli theory are of notable interest. The 'elliptic counterparts' of hyperbolic manifolds, namely Oka manifolds and Special manifolds are tremendously exciting.
