Teaching and Presentations
I am not teaching in the academic year 2015-16 I taught Metric Spaces(MTH6126) in Semester 5 of the Autumn Term 2013. Module information is available through the QM+ portal.
The Royal Institution Masterclass I gave on INFINITY and beyond , given on 5th March, 2014 is here
My recent interests have been in complex infrastructure networks and the School now has an MSc in Network Science
