Scholar-generated biography
Tom Coates is a Professor of Mathematics at Imperial College London, specializing in mirror symmetry, algebraic geometry, machine learning, and AI. His research explores deep connections between algebraic geometry and mathematical physics, particularly through the lens of mirror symmetry. He investigates quantum cohomology, Fano manifolds, and toric geometry, with applications to Gromov-Witten theory and orbifold cohomology. His work also bridges algebraic geometry with machine learning, focusing on the interplay between geometric structures and computational methods. Coates has contributed significantly to the understanding of quantum periods, Minkowski polynomials, and the crepant resolution conjecture.
