Biography

Biography

I have been a lecturer in mathematics at Middlesex University since 2016 and programme leader for the undergraduate mathematics programmes in the department of Design Engineering and Mathematics since 2021. I also manage the Maths Help Centre drop-in on behalf of the maths group.

Prior to joining Middlesex I obtained my PhD in mathematics from University of Galway in 2016 in the area of computational group theory and representation theory.
