An HTML version of my Curriculum
Vitae is available.
My research interests include incidence geometries, polynomials over
finite fields, coding theory, finite semifields and finite fields.
I have compiled a table of the maximum lengths of three-dimensional linear codes, where the difference between the length and minimum distance is fixed. There is also a short background on codes and (n,r) arcs and a question relating to the attainability of the Griesmer bound.
I am on the editorial board of
Designs, Codes and Cryptography,
Finite Fields and their Applications and
Innovations in Incidence Geometry.
It is possible to view articles from the
list of publications.
