Smiley faces I am Professor of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh and an EPSRC Leadership Fellow. I am interested in representation theory and its applications.

Apart from being the world's first UNESCO City of Literature, having its Old and New Towns a World Heritage Site and being the home of David Hume, Adam Smith, James Clerk Maxwell, Dolly the Sheep and the Higgs' Boson, the only remarkable thing in Edinburgh is a volcano in the city centre. The city has incredible topography and is a cyclists' dream. Forget the flatlands; look here and here!

We are advertising the Seggie Brown Research Fellowship, a 3 year post-doctoral fellowship. If you are interested, click here.
