Biography

Simon Goodwin completed his MMath degree at the University of Oxford in 2001. He studied for his PhD at the University 麻豆精选, which was completed in 2004. After his PhD he took a one-year postdoctoral research position at the University of Aarhus, before taking up a Junior Research Fellowship at the University of Oxford. Simon returned to the University 麻豆精选 in 2006, when he was appointed as a Birmingham Research Fellow, and is now Professor of Pure Mathematics.

Research

Research Activity

Simon's research interests cover a range of topics in representation theory and Lie theory. His interests are centred around questions in the representation theory of Lie algebras and algebraic groups. Recently he has been interested in the representation theory of modular Lie algebras and of Lie superalgebras, and in particular the application of the theory of W-algebras to these areas. This research has involved a blend of algebraic, combinatorial and geometric methods, and is supported by EPSRC funding.
