Mathematics in Hull: history and legacy.

About

I joint University of Hull in January 2019. Previously I worked at the University of St Andrews after being awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship under the EU Horizon 2020 programme. Information about my work at National University of Ireland, Galway available here

Research

My work deals with algebra at the interface with computer science. My main results are in computational group theory (design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms for computing with groups and related algebraic structures), linear groups, and subgroups of algebraic groups.

Currently my focus is development of a frontier domain of computational algebra: computing with groups given by a finite set of matrices over an infinite field. The algorithms which I have designed with my coauthors are implemented in the main computer algebra systems, providing the first-ever practical software for computing in this class of groups, and enabling completely new opportunities for mathematical experiments.

Information about my previous research activities including conferences which I co-organized could be found here.
