I am an Australian Research Fellow in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, at The University of Western Australia.

UWA will be hosting an international conference Group Theory, Combinatorics and Computation during 5-16 January 2009. The first week will be a conference in honour of Cheryl Praeger's 60th birthday while the second week with be an informal week of short courses and problem sessions.

Teaching

In second semester 2008 I am one of the lecturers for MATH2300: Fundamental Concepts in Mathematics.

Research

My research interests centre around permutation groups. Some particular areas of research have been locally s-arc transitive graphs, decompositions of graphs and fixed point free elements. See here for more details. Copies of some recent talks given can be found here. I suppose you can say that I am interested in any object with a decent group acting on it.

I am currently cosupervising the PhD of Carmen Amarra with Cheryl Praeger. In the past I have cosupervised two PhD students here at UWA: Scott Brown (with Cheryl Praeger) and Jing Xu (with Cai Heng Li and Cheryl). I also cosupervised the research project of Maria Cristeta Cuaresma (with Cheryl Praeger) for her PhD from the University of the Philippines.

I am currently supervising Rohan Hewson's honours project. I have cosupervised three honours students in the past: Scott Brown and Conor McKenna (with Cheryl Praeger) and Shane Kelly (with Tim Penttila).
