Dr B.D. Souvignier (Bernd)

My principal research interests lie in algorithmic group theory and representation theory.
An application hereof is mathematical crystallography, where I'm a consultant of the IUCr Commission MaThCryst on Mathematical and Theoretical Crystallography.

More generally, I am working on various aspects of computer algebra.
In the year 1996/97, I have been working with the Magma group at the Univeristy of Sydney, contributing mainly to the packages on groups, representations, lattices and local fields.

Outside pure mathematics, I have been working on automatic speech recognition at the Philips research labs in Aachen (Germany) from 1998-2000.
