I am a Senior Lecturer in Algebra and Topology at Cardiff University and a member of the research group Geometry, Algebra, Mathematical Physics and Topology (GAPT).
My research focuses on connections between operator algebras and algebraic topology, in particular (twisted) K-theory and index theory. I am also interested in topological and conformal field theories, with a view towards elliptic cohomology.
See the bio page for more on my academic background.
