Will Rushworth
I am a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Hull. I obtained my PhD from Durham University under the supervision of Andrew Lobb, and was a postdoctoral fellow at McMaster and Syracuse Universities before coming to Hull. My full CV is available here.
My mathematical interests are in low-dimensional topology, including link homology and concordance.
I also have a blog about text book covers.
