Research

I am interested combinatorics, computational complexity and stochastic processes. All of these ingredients come together in the study of randomised algorithms: computational procedures that exploit the surprising power of making random choices. A strong theme in this work is the analysis of the mixing time of combinatorially or geometrically defined Markov chains.

My research is supported by an EPSRC grant Computational Counting, which is a joint project with Leeds (Martin Dyer) and Liverpool (Leslie Ann Goldberg). More details can be found here.
