Associate ProfessorJames Parkinson

I am a member of the Algebra research group and the Geometry, Topology, and Analysis research group. My research interests include combinatorial representation theory and random walk theory. More specifically, I am currently interested in the representation theory of Hecke algebras, with applications to probability theory on buildings and Kac-Moody groups. Other interests include generalised polygons, harmonic analysis on graphs and groups, and path models in Lie theory.

My research aligns with the Faculty of Science Research Strengths - Understanding the Universe, Fundamental Laws of Nature, Complex Systems, Precision and Digital Health.
