Rate My Professor Alice Devillers

Devillers' research expertise lies in permutation group theory, encompassing algebraic graph theory, combinatorial designs, finite geometries, and incidence structures such as buildings. She is actively involved in the Centre for the Mathematics of Symmetry and Computation and serves as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Contact Officer for her school. Her contributions include serving as Chief Investigator on Australian Research Council Discovery Project DP130100106. Notable publications feature "Arc-transitive bicirculants" (Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 2022), "Analysing flag-transitive point-imprimitive 2-designs" (Annales de l'Institut Fourier, 2023), "Block-transitive 2-designs with a chain of imprimitive point partitions" (Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 2023), "On the simple connectedness of certain subsets of buildings" (Advances in Geometry, 2007), "An alternative way to generalize the pentagon" (Designs, Codes and Cryptography, 2013), and "Automorphisms and opposition in twin buildings" (Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society, 2013). These works, often in collaboration with Praeger, Michael Giudici, and others, advance understanding of symmetry and transitivity in finite structures. Devillers also engages in teaching, coordinating units such as Multivariable Calculus, and provides testimonials for educational software like Sowiso.
