Biography

Dominic Joyce is a Senior Research Fellow at Lincoln College, University of Oxford, and a Professor at the Mathematical Institute. His primary research interests lie in Differential Geometry, with occasional explorations into Theoretical Physics, particularly String Theory. He focuses on special geometrical structures, known as special holonomy groups, in dimensions 7 and 8. His work involves studying calibrated submanifolds and singularities within these structures, leading to significant contributions in areas such as special Lagrangian 3-folds and mirror symmetry. Joyce’s academic journey includes notable recognitions such as the Junior Whitehead Prize, the European Mathematical Society Prize, and the Adams Prize. He is currently engaged in several collaborative projects and has hosted many researchers while pursuing foundational questions in geometry and its intersections with physics.
