Research interests

My research interests are semigroups, universal algebra and their application.  A sample of specific topics of interest include:

• • Finite basis problems for varieties, quasivarieties;

  • Computational complexity and decidability/undecidability, especially for problems relating to finite semigroups/algebras;

  • Semigroups of relations (relation algebras), functions (function semigroups), and their applications in computer science;

  • The theory of natural dualities and Boolean topological algebras/structures.;

  • Mathematical Biology: stochastic modelling of cellular processes.

The most up-to-date version of my publication list can be found here, though Google scholar is probably just as useful.

My La Trobe Scholar page also has up to date information on articles that have appeared, and other professional activities within La Trobe University.

I am one of the group leaders for the Research Group in General Algebra and its Applications, which has hosted a mostly weekly seminar for 20 years.

Editorial

• Co-managing editor: Algebra Universalis.  (Submit via journal webpage.)

• Associate editor: Semigroup Forum.  (Consult editorial board, and submit articles by email to appropriate editor.  I prefer semigroup related article in the areas of my research interests, above.)

Upcoming Events!

• The 9th Australian Algebra Conference November 17, 18, La Trobe University City Campus

•  Annual Conference of the Australasian Association for Logic, November 3-7, University of Queensland

• The 69th Australian Mathematical Society Conference, December 9-13, La Trobe University Bundoora campus

Shop

• • Link to Greanvine (Etsy shop for drawings and greeting cards).  An extremely inactive shop, and happy to keep it that way!

The following subpages have been under construction for around 20 years, some of them moderately complete.  Most of the coastal traversing page has been moved  thesarvo, though it lacks the pictures I have here.

• Climbing

• Coastal Traversing

• Jumping

• Clouds

• Family and garden
