I started in July 2010 as a Marie Curie postdoc in the
Number Theory research group.

Code
Some Magma code that I wrote to compute polynomials and that I included as an appendix to my
SL2(F16)-paper can be found here. I've made a poster that
explains how the code should be used. I also wrote some Sage code
that does similar things.
