Tudor Dimofte

Greetings!

I am a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, and the Personal Chair of Geometry and Physics. I'm a member of the Hodge Institute, the Edinburgh Mathematical Physics Group, and the Higgs Centre.

My research group and I develop mathematical techniques to access quantum physics (quantum field theory and string theory), while using inspiration from physics to predict new connections and results in mathematics. A few current interests include

• the algebra and geometry of supersymmetric gauge theories

  • in particular, Homological 3d Mirror Symmetry

• derived algebraic geometry and higher algebraic structures in QFT

• topological quantum field theories

• interactions between QFT and knot theory

I am supported by an EPSRC Open Fellowship and am part of an STFC Consolidated Grant in Particle Physics Theory.

Prior to summer 2020, I worked at UC Davis. Here's my previous website.

While thinking about math and physics, I can sometimes be found hiking and foraging. I also enjoy playing music; if you'd like to play with a violinist, please get in touch.
