Francis Bischoff

Francis Bischoff is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at the University of Regina, part of the Topology and Geometry research group. His research focuses on the intersection of complex algebraic geometry, Poisson geometry, theoretical physics, and modern geometric tools like Lie groupoids. He explores generalized complex geometry, non-commutative geometry, and moduli spaces of singular flat connections.

Previously, he was a Junior Research Fellow at Exeter College and the University of Oxford, and a postdoctoral fellow at the Fields Institute during the thematic program on Homological Algebra of Mirror Symmetry. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Toronto under Marco Gualtieri, where his thesis introduced a novel approach to generalized Kähler geometry using holomorphic symplectic Morita equivalences.

Bischoff’s publications span topics like logarithmic connections, moduli stacks, and brane quantization. He is actively recruiting graduate students interested in geometry and mathematical physics.
