Biography

Brendan McCann is a Lecturer in Mathematics at Waterford Institute of Technology.

My research activity has been largely confined to the areas of minimal Fitting Classes of finite soluble groups and products of finite nilpotent groups. More recently, I have been involved in some joint work on embeddings of finite groups of small order.
