Hi ... welcome to my homepage. From June 1, 1998 to June 30, 2000 I was employed as a

Research Fellow

in the

Centre for Discrete Mathematics and Computing

working on

Algorithms for Combinatorial Computation.

I still hold an `honorary' position here, maintaining software and the like. In 2001, I was a Graduiertenkolleg post-doc at RWTH Aachen, in Germany, where I completed the ACE package and have a more modest homepage. However, the site you are currently reading is my `main' site. Currently, I hold a Research Associate position at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia.

While I was working at UQ, I was supported by an ARC grant held jointly by the Departments of Information Technology & Electrical Engineering and Mathematics and supervised by Professors George Havas and Anne Street.

I currently maintain the `op' accounts for GAP, MAGMA and quotpic, and firmly believe in making documentation easily accessible and so have created web interfaces to realise this. Follow the links and enjoy!

I used to have a text-only homepage (being a firm believer in having webpages that are quick to download) ... but I've relaxed that rule to allow one small photo of me (at least I have set the ALT field!). A small selection of links are listed above. The Other Sites (bookmarks) link takes you to a large text-only list (laid out in such a way as to be not much longer than a wide page).

To see some family pics (I have a wife and two kids) select from below ...

... or to heck with bandwidth:

My PhD thesis, entitled Elements of Prime Order in Primitive Permutation Groups, was passed on September 5, 1997.

Research interests:
Permutation Groups, Computer Algebra, Designs, Number Theory, Galois Theory.

A seminar I gave in 1996 spawned the following set of notes on notation for Finite Simple Groups: [ finsimgps.dvi.gz | finsimgps.ps.gz ]

I have also been involved with UWA Academy for young Mathematicians and have an interest in Mathematics Olympiads; and have started to write down some of the ideas generated in many years of tutoring.

These days I'm somewhat of a (La)TeX guru. I installed most of the TeX-related software on the UWA maths department's UNIX server. In particular, I installed some excellent on-line documentation ( TeX - Local Guide). TeX is now easy to maintain due to the existence of the teTeX distribution.

I have also had cause to use the computer algebra package Magma. I beta-tested its Permutation Groups module, suggesting many improvements to available functions and their documentation; and set up a nice local web interface ( MAGMA - Local Guide) to information.

If you have read this far ... you probably want some details about me. See:
