I am a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Associate Professor at the University of Warwick (departmental webpage). I am also a Visiting Scholar at Queen’s University Belfast (webpage). For my papers, see the arxiv. I am also active on MathOverflow and sometimes even YouTube.
My research is mostly about group theory and combinatorics, but sometimes I pretend to branch out into things like algebraic combinatorics, number theory, random matrices, and ergodic theory. I am most excited by questions that span multiple fields. In group theory I am especially interested in permutation groups and growth in finite and infinite groups.
When not doing mathematics I like to play badminton, bridge, and guitar (not well). I also like crosswords. In practice I have a wife and two young daughters. As an undergraduate in Cambridge I was voted “most likely to ignore children for crosswords”, but it’s not that easy actually.
The purpose of my blog is to share papers, questions, conjectures, etc that I find interesting, and to publicize my own research and that of my collaborators.
