Dr. Chris Daw is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Reading, and a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Oxford's Mathematical Institute. His research focuses on arithmetic geometry, number theory, model theory, and ergodic theory, with a particular emphasis on unlikely intersections in Shimura varieties and their applications to number theory. He has held postdoctoral fellowships at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) and the University of Oxford, and currently serves as Research Division Lead at the University of Reading. Education: MSci Mathematics, University College London (2010) PhD Mathematics, University College London (2014) Research Interests: Daw's work bridges algebraic geometry and number theory, addressing fundamental questions about Shimura varieties as parameter spaces of abelian varieties. His model-theoretic approaches have advanced understanding of special subvarieties and Zilber-Pink conjectures. Key areas include ergodic methods for studying measure distributions on symmetric spaces and effective computations in algebraic geometry. Labs/Teams: He coordinates the GWNT seminar series, supported by the London Mathematical Society, and collaborates extensively with researchers like M. Orr, A. Gorodnik, and B. Zilber on projects involving modular curves and Galois orbit conjectures. He is also preparing for a research visit at the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton) in 2025. Advising & Grants: Supports postdoctoral fellowship applications (e.g., Marie-Curie, EPSRC) and advises PhD candidates in number theory and arithmetic geometry. His research is funded through grants from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and other UK-based organizations.
