Ph.D. Oral Exam
On Friday the 13th of July I successfully defended my thesis, entitled “Pro-finite Lie rings and p-adic Lie algebras“. From here I have only the minor hurdles of getting the Faculty of Graduate Studies to sign off on formatting, and organising copying and binding, to successfully complete my degree requirements. I will therefore be graduating in October, having moved to Ottawa at the end of this month, and gotten married to my fiancée Tuula on the 24th of August. For those who are curious, a copy of the my thesis can now be found in the PDFs section on the lower right; I can’t promise as to how understandable it will be for a general audience, but you may be interested to know what a mathematics Ph.D. thesis looks like.

The math is all very fine and well, but the part I’m really looking forward to is the getting “married to my fiancée Tuula on the 24th of August” part. :-)

Congratulations Leland!
To be honest, although this has been a relatively long and very big part of his life Tuula, I imagine he is too :)
