Felix Scott

I am a mathematics honours student from Australia, currently studying at the University of Queensland, where I recently completed my undergraduate degree in mathematics. Here is my CV.

Research Interests

My research interests lie in the representation theory and structure theory of Lie algebras, with a particular focus on Kac–Moody algebras. These infinite-dimensional Lie algebras extend the classical theory of semisimple Lie algebras and play an important role in areas of mathematical physics, notably in the study of conformal field theories.

Tutoring

In addition to my studies in mathematics, I have a strong passion for teaching. I am currently employed as a tutor at UQ, where I have taught the following courses:

• MATH1052: Multivariate Calculus & Ordinary Differential Equations (2024, 2025; Lead tutor in 2025, 2026)
• MATH1061: Discrete Mathematics I (S2, 2025)
• MATH1050: Mathematical Foundations II (S1, 2025)
• MATH2100: Applied Mathematical Analysis (S2, 2024)

About Me

Mathematics is a large part of my life, but I have other interests outside my studies:

• I play guitar, both electric and acoustic, and I collect guitars, amplifiers, and pedals.
• I enjoy reading, particularly ethical philosophy and philosophy of religion. My favourite author is Peter Singer.
• I love music and enjoy discovering new artists. Recently I’ve been into Angine de Poitrine and Death Cab for Cutie; my all-time favourites include John Mayer, RHCP, U2, Dire Straits, The Church, and The Smiths.
