His Oxford D.Phil was in parabolic geometry, calculating the holonomy of projective and conformal Cartan geometries. He later transitioned into computational biochemistry, designing several new ways to rapidly compare putative bioactive molecules for virtual screening of medicinal compounds.
This seems incorrect. From the FHI website:
Yeah, you’re right, thanks for catching that. I saw “D.Phil” and just thought ‘philosophy’, but I’m guessing this is math.
