My main area of research is in group theory. I am interested in simple groups, both finite and algebraic, with a particular focus on subgroup structure, conjugacy classes and representation theory.
I am also interested in permutation groups and related combinatorics, and in the application of probabilistic and computational methods.
If G is a permutation group on a set S then a subset B of S is a base for G if the pointwise stabiliser of B in G is trivial. The base size of G, denoted b(G), is the smallest size of a base for ...
