About me

Born in New Zealand, I received BSc(Hons) from University of Canterbury and PhD from University of Wisconsin-Madison, both in mathematics. My PhD genealogy : Donald Passman, Richard Brauer, Issai Schur, Georg Frobenius, Karl Weierstrass (Brauer apparently had two supervisors, so another line goes back to Hilbert, Klein, et al.). I was a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer (= Assistant Professor/tenured Associate Professor) at University of Auckland School of Computer Science 2001-2019.
