I am a Reader in the Department of Pure Mathematics, part of the School of Mathematics and Statistics (SoMaS) at the University of Sheffield.

Teaching

I've been on leave for most of 2009-2010, and not teaching.

Research

My field of research is algebraic topology. Here is my publication list. 

Andrew Stacey worked with me as an RA on an EPSRC funded project on stable and unstable operations in higher K-theory. He is now in Trondheim, Norway.

Constanze Roitzheim worked with me as an RA funded by an EPSRC grant, held jointly with Andy Baker of the University of Glasgow. The project is "Rigidity Theorems in Stable Homotopy Theory". She is now based in Glasgow.

I currently have two Ph.D. students, Laura Stanley and Khairia Mira. M-J Strong completed her Ph.D. thesis with me in 2008 and Tony Hignett completed his in 2009.

General information for prospective graduate students is available. If you are interested in doing a Ph.D. with me, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Talks

Here are slides from some talks I have given.

"Infinite sums of Adams operations " (it was mainly a blackboard talk, with just a few slides), Arolla, August 2004.

"Infinite sums of Adams operations ", Bonn Workshop on Structured Ring Spectra, September 2004.

"Stable and unstable operations in p-local K-theory", International Mediterranean Congress of Mathematics, Almería, June 2005.

"On the KU_(p) local stable homotopy catgeory", Conference on The Arithmetic of Structured Ring Spectra, Rosendal, Norway, August 2005.

"Stable and unstable operations in mod p cohomology theories", Complex cobordism in homotopy theory: its impact and prospects, (the Ravenel & Wilson birthday conference), Johns Hopkins, March 2007.

Here are some documents related to my lectures at the LMS-EPSRC Instructional Course on Algebraic Topology at Swansea, July 2005. Outline. Lecture Notes. Problems.

Here is a slide version of a beamer talk on Elliptic Cohomology at the Durham Prospects in Mathematics Meeting in December 2006.
