My main research interests are information security,
finite geometry and combinatorics.
My PhD thesis
My PhD thesis is entitled ``On covers of
point sets in finite geometries''
(postscript version or
pdf version). The work includes
constructions of minimal sets of points covering a line in finite
projective planes, as well as a study on a family of
extended generalised quadrangles and a construction of a
new example. The abstract is available in
postscript and
pdf formats.
