Peter McNamara


    I am a Szego Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University. I will move to the University of Sydney as a Research Fellow in June 2013.

  • I am looking for a permanent faculty position. You may view my CV (pdf), research statement (pdf) and teaching statement (pdf).

    Other (Mathematical) Writing

    • Notes on the Baily-Borel compactification for the Mordell seminar.
    • My PhD thesis and honours thesis are available upon request, but readers should note that both theses essentially appear in the papers above.
    • Constructing Binary Codes. A decent (but not optimally known) construction of binary codes.
