Research

My main area of interest is in algorithms, especially for graph problems, specializing in parameterized algorithms, reconfiguration problems, and the confluence of the two.

In 2017, I co-organized a Banff International Research Station workshop on Combinatorial Reconfiguration.

Slides from an overview talk on reconfiguration, given at CanaDAM 2017, can be found here.

A survey on reconfiguration that I wrote for a special issue can be found here.

To join our new mailing list for researchers interested in reconfiguration, please go to the following page:

    

For more information on reconfiguration, please visit the new web portal.

A list of my papers can be found at the Computer Science bibliography site.

Teaching

My current teaching project involves the development and redevelopment of non-major courses, including CS 231 and CS 234. I am involved in on-going teaching for the Master of Mathematics for Teachers.

Past projects have included teaching a course for the African Institute of Mathematical Sciences and developing courseware for the Faculty of Mathematics' Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing.
