Research

Most of my mathematical research is on group algebras. For an introduction to this topic see the lecture notes of a postgraduate course I delivered at NUI Galway in 2004: Group Algebras Lecture Notes. You can also read my Ph.D. Thesis or the publications listed below.

I am currently supervising a Masters student in group algebras. I am also co-supervising two PhD students in biomedical engineering as part of a research group led by John Hession. My earlier research was in the history of mathematics.

On April 8, 2009 I delivered a mathematical research talk at the 61^st British Mathematical Colloquim (BMC) and the 22^nd Annual Meeting of the Irish Mathematical Society (IMS). In August 2010 I delivered a paper at the conference “Groups and Their Actions”, Bedlewo, Poland.
