Profile

I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Andriy Haydys. Previously I was a PhD at University College London under the supervision of Lorenzo Focolo. My research interest include geometric analysis, gauge theory and special holonomy. During my PhD I worked on gluing constructions of Hyperkähler manifolds and currently I study Z/2-harmonic 1-forms.

N.B. Due to the Dutch naming system, my official name is Willem Adriaan Salm..
