The orbifold S2/A4; made with Mathematica 11.
The orbifold <b>S</b><sup>2</sup>/A<sub>4</sub>; made with Mathematica 11.

My research interests include data analysis (especially related to drought data), generalisations of smooth structures (e.g. diffeology, differential spaces, stacks, orbifolds) and Lie groupoids with applications to Lie group actions, symplectic geometry, and Hamiltonian group actions.
