I have worked in the Department of Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics within the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt University since 1992.

Teaching

I teach courses in probability theory, stochastic processes, and statistics.

Research

My principal research interest is probability theory and its applications in combinatorics and computer science. In particular, I am interested in random combinatorial structures, random combinatorial optimisation problems, and the probabilistic analysis of algorithms.

I am a member of the School's Probability and Statistics Research Group and the Maxwell Institute.
