My name is Catherine, but I'm more commonly known as Katie. I am currently a third year PhD Student at University of East Anglia, working under supervison of Professor Robert Gray.

My current interests are mainly in combinatorial algebra. My thesis explores many different decision problems in groups and inverse monoids.

Before joining UEA, I attended University of St Andrews where I obtained a First Class Masters of Mathematics (MMath). My final year project, which I worked on under the supervision of Prof Nik Ruškuc, was titled "The Theory of Subdirect Products". I also completed two summer research internships and a research assistantship, working with Prof Nik  Ruškuc and Dr Ashley Clayton, which led to two publications.
