Random Name

HELLO

Welcome, bem vindo, bienvenue...

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Victoria in Canada. Before this, I was a Research Fellow in Mathematics at Sidney Sussex College in Cambridge, UK. I was also a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (under the supervision of Rob Morris) at IMPA in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I obtained my PhD from the University of Oxford under the supervision of Alex Scott. Before coming to Oxford, I did Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at Cambridge (also at Sidney!) and I completed my undergraduate studies at University College, Durham.

I have a wide range of research interests, mainly in the areas of extremal and probabilistic combinatorics. In particular, I am interested in extremal graph theory, random graphs and processes, graph colouring, bootstrap percolation and related cellular automata, and Ramsey Theory. Having said that, I am always interested in hearing about new problems to work on and meeting new people to work with (my email address can be found here). My research papers can be found here.

For some articles on my research, see here (University of Cambridge) or here (IMPA - em português).

If this section has failed to tell you sufficiently about me, try here for some more non-mathematical information.
