Further details
I'm currently pursuing a DPhil in Mathematics, supervised by Panos Papazoglou.
Teaching
Teaching Assistant at The Queen's College, and Tutor for Infinite Groups.
Previously: TA for Topology and Groups (MT21), Geometric Group Theory (HT22) and Set Theory (HT22), and Tutor for ASO Group Theory (TT22) at Merton College.
Research interests
Combinatorial and Geometric Group Theory. I'm particularly interested in algorithmic properties of hyperbolic groups, and splittings of groups.
