I was previously (until the end of August 2011) a PIMS Postdoctoral Fellow in the same department.
Prior to that (2007–2009), I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Carleton University, working under the supervision of Brett Stevens and Lucia Moura.
Before that, I was a PhD student at Queen Mary, University of London, where my supervisor was Peter Cameron, and an undergraduate student at the University of Leeds and the University of Waterloo.

Recently, most of my time has been spent working on the relationship between the base sizes of permutation groups and the metric dimension of graphs. A survey article on this topic, with Peter Cameron, was published in the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society 43 (2011), 209–224; a preprint version is available here.
Some specific topics (although not all are the subject of current research activity) include the following:
My PhD was completed in January 2006. My thesis was entitled Permutation Groups, Error-Correcting Codes and Uncoverings; it's about the use of permutation groups as error-correcting codes, and develops a decoding algorithm for them, which then led to questions related to covering designs. You can download it (as a PDF file) here; please let me know if you do.
You may have seen me at one of these conferences. A list of talks I have given can be found here.
I was one of the organisers of two conferences that took place at the University of Regina in July 2011:
