OXFORD UNIVERSITY  COMPUTING LABORATORY

Paul Hunter

I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory.

My research is primarily centred on the use of mathematical games in theoretical computer science, in particular games for formal verification and pursuit-evasion games defining structural and algorithmic complexity.

Teaching

I am a lecturer in Computer Science for Balliol. I tutor Discrete Maths, Linear Algebra and Concurrency.

In Michaelmas 2009 I teach classes for Randomised Algorithms.

In Hilary 2008 I also taught classes for Randomised Algorithms.
