Overview

I am a PhD student in the School of Mathematics, supported by a studentship from the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research.

My research focuses on applications of stable homotopy theory to group actions on C*-algebras. My thesis is titled Symmetries of C*-algebras through the Lens of Stable Homotopy Theory.

I am a member of the Geometry, Algebra, Mathematical Physics and Topology research group.

Biography

Education

MMath with First Class Honours (92% weighted-average), Cardiff University, October 2020 - June 2024.

My MMath dissertation, titled "Categories and Classifying Spaces", was under the supervision of Dr. Ulrich Pennig.

Dissertation topics included:

  • The classification of principal bundles over CW-complexes.
  • The classification of finite-rank real and complex vector bundles over CW-complexes.
  • Two constructions of classifying spaces of topological groups (by G. Segal & J. Milnor).
  • A proof of complex Bott periodicity via simplicial spaces (by B. Harris).
