Matthew Westaway

Matthew Westaway is a Researcher in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath. His work focuses on algebraic structures and representation theory, particularly in Lie algebras, algebraic groups, and enveloping algebras. He has contributed to the study of reduced enveloping algebras, nilpotent orbits, and Hopf algebras.

• Research Fellowship recipient (2021)

His research output includes preprints and peer-reviewed articles in representation theory, with a focus on weight modules, tilting modules, and birational induction. Trends in his work highlight connections between modular Lie algebras, algebraic geometry, and quantum group theory.

Matthew has collaborated with researchers like Dmitriy Rumynin, advancing centrification techniques in algebraic structures. His recent work explores equivariant properties and geometric methods in exceptional Lie types.
