About Me
Former mathematician, current software developer
Hello, I'm Jordan
After finishing my PhD in maths at Newcastle University, I began working as a software developer for Greyridge Software.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me playing my piano, singing in a choir, or playing board games.
Experience

Pursued research in abstract algebra, making heavy use of programming in a new language. Occasionally presented work at academic conferences, and did some teaching. Results from this research were published in the Journal of Algebra. The full text of my thesis, "The Irreducible Representations Of Rational Cherednik Algebras Associated To The Symmetric Groups S2 And S3 In Positive Characteristic", is available to read as a PDF (2 MB).
