I will discuss the theory of branched covers of cube complexes as a method of hyperbolisation. I will show recent results using this technique. Time permitting I will discuss a form of Morse theory on simplicial complexes and show how these methods combined with the earlier methods allow one to create groups with interesting finiteness properties.
