Biography
I am currently a member of the research group "Success in Tertiary Mathematics" and with this group am studying and developing strategies for success in first year university mathematics for students with a poor maths background.
I am also a member of the research group "Theoretical Investigations in Mathematics and Statistics". I am working with Dr Ian Roberts (CDU) and others on various problems in Combinatorics.
I also have an interest in permutation puzzles (for example Rubik's Cube).
