James Conway

Picture of Jamie Conway

I am a mathematician, primarily interested in topology and geometry, more specifically: contact and symplectic geometry.
I also typeset books, specialising in Hebrew/Yiddish, translate Yiddish to English, and play lots of Kaizo Mario.
Pronouns: he/him/his.

See my academic CV.
