Research interests
My main areas of interest are group theory and graph theory (sections 20 and
05 in Math Reviews). I am especially interested in the methods and applications of combinatorial group theory, including computational techniques for handling finitely-presented groups and their images.

These things were obtained (from August 2006 onwards) with the help of the new "LowIndexNormalSubgroups"
routine in MAGMA.
