Mark Kambites
Senior Lecturer in Pure Mathematics
I am a mathematician and computer scientist, interested in semigroup theory, tropical algebra and geometry, combinatorial and geometric group theory, formal languages and automata, cryptography, computational complexity, parallel processing, quantum computing, and especially the interactions between these fields.
I am the central coordinator for the North British Semigroups and Applications Network (NBSAN), and an editor of the journal Communications in Algebra. The rest of the time I am a father, husband, rambler, fellwalker, consumer, commuter, cyclist, motorist, genealogist, cross-country skier and crossword enthusiast.
