Profile
I am a diligent and conscientious Mathematician seeking a career in an area that uses my transferable skills honed throughout my Doctoral research, namely problem solving, analytical thinking and quantitative reasoning. I have excellent communication skills and enjoy giving presentations and talks. Given my extensive teaching experience I am a very good manager of people and I relish working with others, as evidenced, for example, by my recent collaborative research project. Throughout my extensive Doctoral research I have learned to be adaptable and innovative. These attributes are complemented by my excellent qualifications and by knowledge and expertise in:
 Original Mathematical research to Doctoral level (Algebraic Geometry)
 In-depth knowledge of Mathematics in many areas, including statistics and probability theory
 Published author of a collaborative research article on Bridgeland Stability (Algebraic Geometry) in co-operation with two other researchers from the Freie Universität Berlin
Some experience of Python, R and C++ programming languages (currently upskilling in data programming/coding)
Fluency in German (native speaker), English and Spanish, knowledge of French
A wealth of teaching experience at university level
The ability to construct logical arguments and to comprehend and manipulate highly complex information and ideas
