Who is Charles Leedham-Green?
Charles R. Leedham-Green is a retired professor of mathematics at Queen Mary, University of London, known for his work in group theory. He completed his DPhil at the University of Oxford.
Along with Leonard Soicher, Leedham-Green designed the product replacement algorithm; an algorithm within computational group theory that generates random elements of groups by taking a random walk through the group. This algorithm has been implemented in both GAP and MAGMA.
He is responsible for a great body of work in group theory. In recent times, this has involved research in computational group theory and pro-p groups.
The 300th edition of the Journal of Algebra was dedicated to him for his 65th birthday. On the occasion of his retirement in 2006, the Mathematics Research Centre at Queen Mary held a conference in celebration of his mathematical achievements.
