Brian Collier

Brian Collier serves as an Associate Professor at the University of California, Riverside and maintains affiliation with the Hitchin and Ngô Laboratory at ICMAT (Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas) in Spain.

His academic foundation includes:

• Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under advisor Steve Bradlow
• NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Maryland supervised by Richard Wentworth

His research spans advanced mathematical domains including Differential Geometry, Gauge Theory, Algebraic Geometry, and Geometric Analysis, with strong connections to Hitchin systems and the Langlands program as evidenced by his laboratory affiliation. His work explores moduli spaces, geometric structures, and representation-theoretic frameworks.

Key recognitions include:

• NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship
• NSF CAREER Award (DMS #2337451)

Current research is supported by the NSF CAREER grant focusing on geometric aspects of mathematical physics. No student advisement information appears in source materials. Collier actively contributes to the international mathematics community through his ICMAT laboratory collaboration and ongoing grant-funded research.
