Professor Christopher MacMinn is a Professor of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford and leads the Poromechanics Lab, an interdisciplinary research group that brings together engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and earth scientists. His work focuses on the mechanics of fluids and soft materials, particularly how fluids flow through and deform porous materials such as soils, biological tissues, gels, and subsurface rock formations.
Professor MacMinn earned his SB, SM, and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he worked with Ruben Juanes on the fluid mechanics of geological carbon dioxide sequestration. He later held a postdoctoral position at Yale University where he worked with John Wettlaufer and Eric Dufresne, researching the deformation of porous and granular materials.
His research combines mathematical modeling with laboratory experiments to address challenges in energy, environmental science, soft materials, and biomedical engineering. Recent work from his group has advanced understanding of fluid-driven deformation, gas migration in soft materials, carbon storage, and multiphase flow in porous media.

The Bernstein–Khovanskii–Kushnirenko (BKK) theorem gives a way to count the non-zero solutions of a system of polynomial equations using geometric objects called Newton polytopes. It can be seen as a refinement of Bézout’s theorem. One particularly nice proof of this result uses ideas from tropical geometry, where complicated algebraic problems can be translated into simpler, combinatorial ones. In this talk, I will explain the BKK theorem and sketch its proof using tropical geometry. I will also describe joint work with Andrés Jaramillo Puentes, where we extend this result to more general base fields, not just algebraically closed ones. This leads to a meaningful way to count solutions in a broader setting, again using tropical methods.
