Education:

• M.Phys. (Physics), University of Oxford
• M.A. (Physics), Princeton University
• Ph.D. (Theoretical Physics), Imperial College London

Research Interests:

Professor Ashmore current research focuses on computational and machine-learning techniques for string theory and quantum field theory. This includes computing numerical 淐alabi揧au� metrics � crucial ingredients for connecting string theory to experiment � and modelling phase transitions in strongly interacting quantum systems. He also studies the kinds of geometry that appear in string theory and supergravity using purely theoretical tools, such as differential geometry and 済eneralized geometry�.

Before joining 91传媒 in Fall 2024, Prof. Ashmore held postdoctoral research fellowships at the University of Oxford, University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago and Sorbonne Universit茅.

Prof. Ashmore is currently looking for undergraduates interested in computational physics to join his lab.
