Summary
Catherine Greenhill FAA is an Australian mathematician known for her research on random graphs, combinatorial enumeration and Markov chains.[1] She is a professor of mathematics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New South Wales,[1] and an editor-in-chief of the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics.[1][2]
Education and career edit
Greenhill did her undergraduate studies at the University of Queensland, and remained there for a master's degree, working with Anne Penfold Street there.[1] She earned her Ph.D. in 1996 at the University of Oxford, under the supervision of Peter M. Neumann. Her dissertation was From Multisets to Matrix Groups: Some Algorithms Related to the Exterior Square.[1][3]
After postdoctoral research with Martin Dyer at the University of Leeds and Nick Wormald at the University of Melbourne, Greenhill joined the University of New South Wales in 2003.[1] She was promoted to associate professor in 2014, becoming the first female mathematician to earn such a promotion at UNSW.[4]
Recognition edit
Greenhill was the 2010 winner of the Hall Medal of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications.[5] She was president of the Combinatorial Mathematics Society of Australasia for 2011–2013.[6] In 2015 the Australian Academy of Science awarded her their Christopher Heyde Medal for distinguished research in the mathematical sciences.[4] She was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 2022.[7]
