But you decide to stay where you are since the tears have made the ground on which you stand fertile. NFT

Summary Initiated seven new collaborative research projects within the Mathematical Structures research programme, that includes researchers and postgraduate students from various universities in South Africa: operator semigroups, measure structures, metric frames, canonical extensions, ranked monoids, sum structures, lower topology. Supervised and co-supervised nine postgraduate students (two honors, two masters, and five phd). Represented South Africa at the General Assembly of the International Mathematical Union along with a colleague in Mathematics Education. In collaboration with colleagues and students, developed and delivered a successful math-music theatrical production for the celebration of the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development. The production was supported by NITheCS, ASSAf and DSI. Developed and delivered four national postgraduate courses online: SOFiA on python, mathematical structures (in collaboration), introductory set theory (in c...
