DESCRIPTION:When trying to understand the subgroup structure of the except
 ional algebraic  groups and groups of Lie type\, one often needs to explic
 itly construct simple  subgroups of large finite groups. In this talk\, we
  will discuss some  relatively simple\, yet powerful\, ideas and algorithm
 s that can decide the  existence and number of classes of various maximal 
 subgroups of the larger  exceptional groups (of types E and F). We will ap
 ply these methods to  construct some sporadic and cross-characteristic Lie
  type maximal subgroups  of E7 and E8.  &nbsp\;  <br><br>This forms part o
 f the speaker&#39\;s programme to complete the classification of  maximal 
 subgroups.
