My research interests are in linear algebra and its interactions with such areas as combinatorics, representation theory, field theory, and finite group theory. Details available on my website www.maths.nuigalway.ie~rquinlan. I am also interested in mathematics education research at university level. I would welcome applications in either of these areas.
I have been a lecturer in Mathematics at the University of Galway since 2005. I hold a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Alberta (2000) and a BSc and MSc from University College Galway. My research interests are generally in algebra, specifically in combinatorial and algebraic aspects of matrix theory. I am also interested in art as a means of mathematical exploration and expression, and generally in connections between mathematics and the arts. I am the current president of the Irish Mathematical Society (2025 and 2026).
All areas of mathematics at all levels from first year undergraduate to PhD. MOdules that I am teaching in the current year are listed below. Since moving to NUI Galway in 2005 I have taught a wide range of mathematical topics to students of Science, Arts and Engineering as well as to specialists in Mathematics. I have also taught our first year course through the Irish language on several occasions. Lecture notes from most of my modules can be found at here.
