Adrian Dawid

PhD Student in Mathematics

Welcome to my webpage! I am a third-year PhD student in mathematics at the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge. My PhD supervisor is Ivan Smith. At Cambridge, I am a member of Gonville & Caius College. From September to November 2025, I am visiting the group of Sobhan Seyfaddini at ETH Zurich.

Background

Before coming to Cambridge, I completed a Masters's degree in mathematics at ETH Zurich. There I wrote my Master's thesis "Floer Barcode Growth in the Component of a Dehn-Seidel Twist" under the supervision of Paul Biran. Prior to that I obtained a Bachelor's degree in mathematics from Humboldt University Berlin. As part of the degree, I wrote a Bachelor's thesis on the topic "A Correspondence Between the Morse Index and the Conley-Zehnder Index for Geodesics" under the supervision of Chris Wendl.

Research Interests

My primary mathematical interests are the following topics:

I am particularly interested in the interaction between symplectic topology and (Hamiltonian) dynamics.
