About the GGC

Based at Rhodes University

​Rhodes University may be found in the quiet town of Grahamstown, South Africa, a short distance from the Indian Ocean. It is in this idyllic setting that most of our research has been conducted.

Established in 2010

​Initially formed in 2010 as the Geometry and Geometric Control research group, in 2015 the GGC changed its name to the Geometry, Graphs, and Control research group. Since 2018 it is the Geometry, Groups, and Control research group. ​
