Here is my CV as a pdf file. I did my undergraduate studies and a masters degree at Natal University. Then I completed Part III of the mathematical tripos (certificate of advanced study in mathematics) with distinction and received my PhD from Cambridge University in the department of pure mathematics and mathematical statistics under the supervision of Andrew Thomason. I did a postdoctoral fellowship in the Theory Group at Microsoft Research and while I was there I did some teaching at the University of Washington and I'm a faculty member in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo. Right now I'm in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McGill University until summer 2007, and from then on I will be in the Department of Mathematics at UCSD (University of California San Diego). I hold an NSERC Discovery Grant, a startup grant and a CFI grant. I was recently awarded a Sloan Fellowship.

The principal research topics in which I am interested are extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, with emphasis on random graphs, probabilistic methods, combinatorial number theory and information theory. This field has grown very rapidly in the last few decades, with an increasing number of applications to other areas in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and theoretical computer science. My interests lie not only in the inherent combinatorial interest in the solution to problems in these research areas, but also in their applicability to other areas of mathematics and computer science.
