Welcome to my personal web site.
I am a mathematician, currently working as a Reader in Pure Mathematics at Royal Holloway College, University of London, in the UK.

My research activities are directed towards the study of infinite groups. I am especially interested in groups which carry some number theoretic information. Many problems which I have been working on in the last few years concern profinite, often pro-p groups. These occur rather naturally as Galois groups of infinite field extensions.
To some extent, my mathematical home base is Asymptotic Group Theory, in particular subgroup growth, representation growth and related subjects. This is a direction in infinite group theory which started in the late 80s and still contains many challenging problems.
But then I am always happy to learn about new things and I have been intrigued by problems in additive combinatorics, coding theory, Lie theory, etc.

For those interested in mathematics, here is my list of publications.

During the academic year 2011-12 the South England Profinite Groups Meeting, a Joint Research Group funded by LMS Scheme 3, will hold a series of three meetings. Follow the link for more information.
