Additional information: Co-organiser (since 2022) of LMS Scheme 3 network Set Theory in the UK. Organiser or co-organiser for various conferences, including Accessible categories and their connections: set theory, model theory, homotopy theory (Leeds, 2018), and the 2017 “Young Set Theory Workshop” New directions in the higher infinite (ICMS, Edinburgh). EPSRC Mathematics Prioritisation Panel member, 2014 and 2017. Panellist in UK Games Expo 2015 panel discussion The mathematics of games..
Personal statement: I am enthusiastic to do my bit to support the UK mathematics community through membership of the LMS council - helping to maintain what the LMS does well, while working to address the challenges our community faces, such as in equality, diversity and inclusion, and the academic career pipeline. I am someone with broad mathematical interests, based in a relatively small but active subfield, with my research drawing connections to other parts of the discipline. As such I believe I am well-placed to represent on council the interests of mathematicians from across the community.
