Introduction

I am lecturer, in the Mathematics Department at the University of Leeds.

Previously, I spend three years as a Junior Research Fellowship at St John's College, Oxford; completed a Phd at Leeds University Mathematics Department and studied the Mathematics Tripos at Pembroke College, Cambridge.

Research

I am interested in aspects of abstract algebraic functional analysis, mainly Banach and operator algebras and links to abstract harmonic analysis, with some interest in Banach spaces. I am happy to supervise research students: some possible projects are listed on the Analysis website pages. Recent work has:

  • Studied the abstract theory of multipliers of dual Banach algebras, and applied this to study algebras in abstract quantum harmonic analysis.
  • Studied how non-commutative $L^p$ spaces can be used to represent multipliers of the Fourier algebra.
  • Studied cohomological properties of (quantum) convolution algebras associated with compact quantum groups.
  • With Volker Runde, looked at amenability-like properties for topological quantum groups.
