I am a lecturer in the Department of Pure Mathematics at the University of Sheffield.
In the academic year 2009–10, I will teach MAS105 Numbers and Proofs and MAS277 Vector Spaces and Fourier Theory.
A selection of course notes for some of my previous courses, both graduate and undergraduate, are to be found here.
My field of research is algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry; in particular, I am interested in the theory of modular forms and Galois representations. More details can be found on my main maths page, which also contains some references to my papers. In particular, prospective research students will find a detailed description of my research interests. General information for prospective graduate students is available.
I am Director of Teaching from September 2009. Students may e-mail me about any issues.
Here are some mathematical societies and other useful sites:
For an extensive list of preprint servers, click on the AMS list or the list at Penn State.

In addition to mathematics, I am a keen pianist and musician. I sing with the Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus, and am one of the webmasters of their site. I collect classical CDs, mostly of piano music. Here is a discography of Marc-André Hamelin. More musical links may be found here. Occasionally I edit some music of Sorabji in my spare time.
Other links, such as public transport timetables, and a few other useful things, are here.
