Stephen Scully

Stephen Scully is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Victoria, within the Faculty of Science. His research focuses on advanced algebraic topics including quadratic forms, projective homogeneous varieties, algebraic cycles, motives, and Milnor K-theory. He currently teaches courses such as MATH 212 (Introduction to Algebra), MATH 493 (Topics in Pure Mathematics), and MATH 510 (Abstract Algebra) in Fall 2024, alongside MATH 412 (Abstract Algebra II) in Spring 2025.

Stephen Scully holds a PhD from the University of Nottingham.

His research interests span several key areas in modern mathematics: quadratic forms and their generalizations to higher-degree forms, the study of projective homogeneous varieties, algebraic cycles and their relations to motives, and the exploration of Milnor K-theory. These areas intersect algebra, geometry, and number theory, with a particular emphasis on structural properties of algebraic objects and their applications in broader mathematical frameworks.

His publications reflect a sustained engagement with quadratic forms, K-theory, and algebraic geometry, with notable contributions to the understanding of function fields of quadrics, splitting behaviors of forms, and the interplay between algebraic cycles and motives. Recent work includes advancements in the Artin-Springer theorem and Milnor-Witt K-groups, demonstrating a deepening focus on foundational algebraic structures and their applications in geometric contexts.
