Arun Soor’s Webpage

I am a DPhil (Maths) student at in the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford.

My supervisor is Prof. Konstantin Ardakov.

I am currently in the 4th and final year of my DPhil. I am on the job market for post-doc positions starting in Autumn 2025.

You can find my CV here. (Last updated October 2024).
