Dr Pierrick Bousseau

Dr Pierrick Bousseau earned a PhD in mathematics from Imperial College London under the supervision of Richard Thomas. He subsequently held a postdoctoral position at ETH Zurich, followed by a research appointment with the CNRS at Université Paris-Saclay. He then spent three years as an Assistant Professor at the University of Georgia in the United States, before joining Oxford as an Associate Professor in the Mathematical Institute.

Teaching

At St Peter’s, Dr Bousseau teaches tutorials for students taking Pure Mathematics courses.

Research

Dr Bousseau's research is in algebraic geometry, enumerative geometry and integrations with ideas from theoretical physics.
