Huge Congratulations to Jack Allsop for submitting his PhD Thesis “Latin Subrectangles”. His thesis was supervised by Ian Wanless, with Daniel Horsley as Associate Supervisor. Jack already has a postgraduate job lined up in Berlin.
This week, several group members are attending the “Combinatorics of McKay and Wormald” program at MATRIX, organised by Jane Gao, Catherine Greenhill, Mikhail Isaev, Anita Liebenau and Ian Wanless. This event celebrates the lives and mathematics of Brendan McKay and Nick Wormald.
Michael Gill’s PhD thesis “Enumeration and Isomorphism for 1-Factorisations and Latin squares” has been accepted. Michael’s research has been published in Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society; Designs, Codes and Cryptography; and his latest paper was recently accepted to Random Structures & Algorithms. Congratulations to Michael and his supervisor, Ian Wanless!
