Research Interests
I am interested in aspects of transformation monoids and permutation groups. I am currently researching the structure of endomorphism monoids of certain semigroups.
If we let S be some semigroup and End(S) be its endomorphism monoid then we can define End2 (S) as the endomorphism monoid of End(S). We then define Endi(S) as End(Endi-1(S) for all natural numbers i. This sequence is called the endomorphism tower of S. I am currently looking at patterns that arise in these endomorphism towers for different S.
