Research interests
I am an algebraist with broad interests, particularly exploring the links between algebraic objects, such as groups or algebras, and geometric or combinatorial objects. My background is in the amalgam method, which has applicationstogrouprecognitiontheoremsandgrouppresentations. I am also interested in Clifford algebras, axial algebras, vertex operator algebras and fusion systems. I have extensive experience programming in both GAP and MAGMA.
