Research Supervision

My current postdoc, Marianne Johnson , is working with me on tropical matrix algebra. My current graduate student, David Wilding MSc in 2011 and since then has been working on his PhD in algebra.

My former PhD student Elaine Render, wrote her thesis on algebraic automata theory and went to a postdoc at UCLA. Other former students include Peter Walker (MSc 2008) who wrote a dissertation on Synchronising Automata and a Conjecture of Cerny, Katharine Barr (MSc 2009) who is currently a PhD student in Leeds and James Redhead (MSc 2010). My erstwhile postdoc Chris Hollings is currently in Oxford.

If you are interested in working with me as a research student or postdoc, please feel free to get in touch. It would be helpful if you could describe your experience and the area you would like to work in. The School of Mathematics also runs a one-year taught-plus-dissertation MSc programme in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Logic, which you might consider taking possibly as a precursor to doctoral study. If you would like to work in one of my research areas, I would be happy to consider supervising your final dissertation. For full details of the School's postgraduate programmes, look here.
