Biography
I completed my PhD at Queen Mary, University of London in 2010, which was on topics in profinite group theory. Since then, I have worked as a full-time researcher in Germany, Belgium and Australia, with my research focus shifting from profinite groups to the more general class of totally disconnected, locally compact groups. I began working at the University of Newcastle in August 2012 as a research associate working on the Discovery Project "Theory and applications of symmetries of relational structures" (DP120100996, CIs: George Willis and Murray Elder).
