Welcome. I am an Associate Professor in Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Birmingham with the group of Geometry and Mathematical Physics.

My research on video for a LMS workshop, for an INI workshop, and in slides.

Here are links to my papers on the arXiv, to my Google Scholar profile and my CV.

My name in Korean 미셸, in Japanese 魅志江流 and in Chinese 米歇尔.

Some lectures on the Gross-Siebert program and other bits of maths.

And one of my favorite pieces of music.
