Biography

Eoin obtained a BA in Mathematics from Trinity College Dublin in 2006. Following this, he sat Part III of the Mathematics Tripos (MMath) at the University of Cambridge in 2007, where he later obtained his PhD in Mathematics under the supervision of Professor Imre Leader in 2012. Following his PhD he held postdoctoral positions at the University of Oxford, Tel-Aviv University and Queen Mary, University of London. In 2019 he took up a lectureship in the School of Mathematics at the University of Birmingham.

Research activity

Eoin's research interests lie in Extremal and Probabilistic Combinatorics. In particular, his research focuses on finite set theory (intersection theorems, Hamming geometry, isoperimetry) and graph theory (extremal graph theory, Ramsey theory, random graphs). Eoin often uses tools from different areas of mathematics in his research, including probabilistic, analytic and algebraic techniques.
