- Since July 2022 I am central coordinator of the GAP computer algebra system.
- Since January 2021 I am one co-leader of the OSCAR computer algebra system.
Research Interests
- Geometry: Tits buildings, automorphisms, involutions, flips
- Groups: Algebraic groups, amalgams, Kac-Moody groups, groups of lie type
- Computer algebra with focus on algorithmic group theory
