I am a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics, and in Semester 2 of 2026 I am lecturing MATHS 315 (Mathematical Logic). My research is in the pure-mathematical fields of Operator Algebra and Abstract Algebra, and is funded by my Marsden Fund Fast-Start Grant (held with Distinguished Professor Benjamin Steinberg). I currently co-supervise one PhD student, Ryan Thompson (based at Victoria University of Wellington).
