Seamus Albion
I am a PhD student at the University of Vienna where my advisor is Christian Krattenthaler. As such I am a member of the combinatorics group and the Vienna School of Mathematics. Before coming to Vienna I did my undergraduate and MPhil at the University of Queensland where my advisor was Ole Warnaar.
My research interests (at this stage) lie in special functions and combinatorics.

Teaching
At UQ I was a teaching assistant/tutor for several undergradute course including MATH2302 (Discrete Mathematics II) and MATH3303 (Algebra).Music
When I'm not doing mathematics I'm usually thinking about music.
I play saxophone with Jeremy Neale, and have played saxophone for Rinse and The John Steel Singers. You can hear me on SPOD's song Golden Gaytime.
I used to play clarinet in the UQ Symphony Orchestra. For a list of works I performed with them click here.
