Alastair Farrugia - academic matters

I completed my PhD in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo, in May 2003; my supervisor was Bruce Richter. My doctoral studies were paid for by a Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship provided by the Canadian government. I obtained my B.Sc. (Math and Computing) from the University of Malta. I also did my M.Sc. there, in the Department of Mathematics, with Stanley Fiorini.
