Bio

Alexander Kasprzyk is an Associate Professor in mathematics at the University of Nottingham. He directs a world-leading research group developing classifications of Fano varieties, the "atomic pieces" of geometry. This involves massively parallel computational algebra and large databases of geometric objects, applying tens of centuries of computing time to make substantial and important mathematical advances. Through this work he has pioneered the use of techniques from data science and machine learning in Pure Mathematics to uncover new mathematical structure. He is the editor-in-chief for the journal Experimental Mathematics.
