Biography

I am a part-time postdoctoral researcher and a part-time education-focused lecturer at the School of Computer Science. I currently work with Ruth Hoffmann on applications of permutation group theory to combinatorial search, particularly for symmetry breaking.

Prior to this, I held a number of education-focused roles and postdoctoral roles here in the school. My PhD was in computational group theory.
