I'd rather walk than take a taxi.

My name is Alan, and my research background is in Geometric Group Theory. I work as an Assistant Professor in Sustainable Logistics, although I still do GGT when I can. See my website for more details.

I transitioned to this field because, although I find maths immensely enjoyable, I am worried about the environment and climate change, and what the future holds for my children. My work in logistics involves digitalisation (digital twins, agent-based models) and the electrification of road freight.
