Background
I have a master's degree in maths (thesis title: "Models of Groups over the Field with One Element", supervised by Dr. Corneliu Hoffman). I have also studied chemistry and physics up to 'A' level. My pronouns are he/him.

This account is a continuation of the now-inactive account Donutmug, as I decided it would be better to edit under my real name.

Fun facts about me

 * I have appeared on University Challenge, representing the University of Birmingham in the 49th series of the programme.
 * It is thought that my family name comes from the village of Sculthorpe in Norfolk.
 * I am an honourary citizen of the micronation of Adammia.

Interests
My main interest is in mathematics, specifically:
 * algebraic geometry
 * group theory
 * the field with one element.

My significant edits will probably be restricted to the above areas, as those are my areas of specialism. However, I am also interested (at an amateur level) in a variety of subjects, including but not limited to:
 * Japanese history (particularly the bakumatsu and Meiji restoration)
 * Early medieval European history (particularly involving Cnut the Great and Leif Eriksson)
 * physics (in particular quantum mechanics and string theory)
 * linguistics

Edits
Articles that I have contributed to significantly are:

Works in progress/Essays

 * A new draft article about tsukimachitō (Japanese article ja:月待塔).
 * A draft rewrite of Mathematics.
 * A draft rewrite of the University of Birmingham Lunar Society subsection of Lunar Society of Birmingham.
 * A draft rewrite/restructuring of the page field with one element.
 * Improvement notes for affine variety.
 * My sandbox, in which I keep minor draft additions to other articles.
