About Me
I am a first year PhD student under the supervision of Dr Gareth Tracey and Dr Adam Thomas, working on permutation group theory. More specifically, I am investigating bounds on minimal generator numbers for primitive permutation groups.
I previously completed my MMath degree at Warwick, including a third year project on cycles in Cayley graphs and a fourth year project on the group-theoretic proof of Burnside's theorem.
I can be contacted at .

Resources

Other Activities
Outside of my degree, I keep very busy! I am very involved with many projects surrounding diversity and inclusion at university, including a project with the Social Mobility Research Hub, presenting on inclusive teaching at the Warwick Inclusion Conference and research into how the department can improve inclusion amongst undergraduates. I have also been part of MOSAIC since it began, helping to run events for underrepresented students in mathematical sciences.
I also enjoy being involved with departmental and university committees. I was a course rep on the Maths SSLC for all four years of my undergraduate degree and SSLC chair for three years, where I attended the Teaching Committee, EDI Committee and staff meetings to represent undergraduate views. I am now the PGR SEM faculty rep, where I sit on various faculty boards and education committees, and a first year representative for the Maths SGSLC.
