معرفی
Nicholas Shepherd-Barron is a Professor in Geometry at the Department of Mathematics, King's College London, within the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2006. His research focuses on algebraic geometry, including singularities in the Minimal Model Program, compactification of moduli spaces, and the rationality of orbit spaces. He also studies algebraic surfaces in positive characteristic, canonical models of moduli spaces, and the Schottky problem.
His research interests span elliptic surfaces, del Pezzo surfaces, and their connections to Lie groups and representation theory. He has contributed to cryptography through studies on Cremona transformations. Collaborations include work with researchers like Ivan Grojnowski on Springer fibres and moduli spaces.
