Biography

Frederick Manners received his D.Phil. in Mathematics from the University of Oxford in 2016. He spent several years as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University. His main area of research is Additive Combinatorics, with broad interests in several fields of pure mathematics, including number theory, combinatorics, and ergodic theory. He has a particular focus on the concepts of arithmetic pseudorandomness, involving testing whether a specific arithmetic object appears random and identifying the specific structure that aids in their analysis through an in-depth study of Gowers norms and inverse theory. He is also interested in the applications of these ideas in combinatorics and number theory.
