About me

I am a Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at the University of Manchester. In the past I held positions at City, University of London, the University of Glasgow and at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. I completed my PhD on “Group rings over the p-adic integers” at RWTH Aachen University in 2012. An up-to-date academic CV is available here.

Miscellaneous

GAP Code

The “orders” package

This package allows to compute with orders over the $p$-adic integers, such as $\mathbb Z_p G$ for a finite group $G$. Among other things it can compute indecomposable projective lattices and basic algebras. Most of it was written back in 2009 while I was working on my master’s thesis, but I added functionality over the last few years, as needed for my research.
