David Conlon

David Conlon (* 1982 ) is an Irish mathematician . He is particularly concerned with extremal and probabilistic graph theory .

Life

Conlon graduated from Trinity College in Dublin in 1999 with a Bachelor's degree in 2003 (University Gold Medal) and passed Part 3 of the Tripos exams at Cambridge University with distinction. He received his PhD in Cambridge with Timothy Gowers in 2009 (Upper Bounds for Ramsey Numbers). From 2007 to 2010 he was a Junior Fellow at St. John's College, Cambridge. He is a Royal Society University Research Fellow (from 2010), Tutorial Fellow at Wadham College (from 2011) and from 2011 Lecturer in Discrete Mathematics at Oxford University .

Conlon deals with extremal graph theory , Ramsey theory , random structures in combinatorics, pseudo-random and additive combinatorics.

In 2011 he received the European Prize in Combinatorics for his work on Ramsey theory (including a new upper limit for diagonal Ramsey numbers) and advances in Sidorenko's conjecture on bipartite graphs .
