Andrew Baker's Home Page
I am a member of the School of Mathematics & Statistics of the University of Glasgow. Most of the links below are mathematical and especially related to Algebraic Topology which is my main research area. If you are interested in doing a PhD on Algebraic Topology in Glasgow, have a look at the information on postgraduate degrees.
Together with Dr. Sarah Whitehouse of the University of Sheffield, I held an EPSRC grant for a project on Rigidity Theorems in Stable Homotopy Theory. Details (in the form of a modified version of the Case for Support submitted to EPSRC) can be found here. |

- RAWA: Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan RAWA is a non-violent, left-of-center group which has been active for over a decade. It is at the forefront of campaigning for women's rights in Afghanistan and has continuously opposed the Afghan Mujahideen groups' policies towards women. RAWA campaigns for women's rights and provides education and health facilities for women and children, mostly in Afghan refugee areas in Pakistan. It has set up a number of educational and health programs in Afghanistan but has had to scale down these initiatives because of threats. RAWA's demonstrations are attended by Afghan women only, but many Afghan men who support their cause usually stay in the background and provide security when necessary.
