Alvaro Gonzalez Hernandez

Hola! I am a Teaching Fellow at the Mathematics Institute of the University of Warwick. I also did my PhD at Warwick under the supervision of Dr Damiano Testa and Professor Gavin Brown.

I am interested in algebraic geometry and number theory, particularly on the following topics:

• K3 surfaces and their arithmetic.
• Singularities in positive characteristic geometry.
• Generalised Kummer surfaces.
• Abelian varieties.

If none of these words make sense to you, you can watch this three-minute talk where I explain what I do to a general audience.

I studied the MSc in Mathematical Sciences at the University of Oxford and the BSc in Mathematics at the Universidad de Salamanca (Spain). I also spent a year at the University of Edinburgh as an exchange student during my undergraduate degree.

My surname is Gonzalez Hernandez (yes, both words are my surname!) but I publish as Gonzalez-Hernandez for convenience.

Outside of mathematics, I enjoy graphic design, watching cinema and doing martial arts (mostly judo and jiu jitsu).
