Research activities

My research is broadly linked by invariant theory, a branch of algebra whose roots go back to the 18th Century but which still finds applications today. I have also worked in modular and non-modular representation theory of finite and linear algebraic groups, homological algebra and aspects of algebraic geometry.


Current Teaching

I am module leader for the following courses:

MSO0201 Foundation Mathematics (Psych)

MSO0209 Foundation Mathematics (Nat Sci)

MSO1125 Mathematical Thinking

MSO3115 Rings and Fields

MSO3450 Cryptography and Blockchain

MSO4735 Management Decision Making

I am supervising one PhD student: Kazal Kadr, who began her studies in October 2019.
