About Me
I'm James (also known as Luna) and I'm a mathematical Communicator based in Oxford. My job involves travelling the country, talking to people and getting them excited about mathematics and the related sciences. Mathematics is my main passion, alongside acting, comedy and public speaking, mathematical communication is the mesh of all of these together.
I'm currently reading for a masters in mathematical modelling and Scientific Computing at St Edmund Hall, Oxford after gaining a first class honours degree at University of Exeter. My research interests are based around using geometry and differential geometry applied to real world situations, via numerics and derivation of equations.
