Dominic Joyce

Professor Dominic Joyce is a leading academic in the field of Differential Geometry, affiliated with the University of Oxford as the Professor of Mathematics and a Senior Research Fellow at Lincoln College. His work spans special holonomy groups, calibrated geometry, and their applications to theoretical physics, particularly string theory and mirror symmetry.

His research group, funded by EPSRC, includes postdocs Dr. Manabu Akaho (symplectic geometry), Dr. Yinan Song (Donaldson-Thomas invariants), and EU Marie Curie Fellows Dr. Spiro Karigiannis (G2-manifolds) and Tommaso Pacini (special Lagrangian singularities). He focuses on Homological Mirror Symmetry, exploring special Lagrangians, stability conditions, and moduli spaces of coherent sheaves.

His recent publications address manifolds with corners, moduli space orientations, and derived schemes, reflecting a blend of differential and algebraic geometry. Awards include the Junior Whitehead Prize, the European Mathematical Society Prize, and the Adams Prize, underscoring his contributions to geometric analysis and mathematical physics.
