Cathal Cummins

Cathal completed his BSc in mathematical physics at University College Dublin (UCD) (2003-2009, first class) for which he was awarded UCD’s prestigious Conway Medal in Mathematical Physics. The medal represents outstanding performance, and awarded only when there is a suitable candidate. Following a year teaching engineering and mathematics at Trinity College Dublin (2009-2010), he was awarded a Mathematics Applications Consortium for Science and Industry (MACSI) scholarship to undertake the MSc in mathematical modelling at the University of Limerick (UL, 2010-2011), and graduated with maximum points. He holds a PhD in applied mathematics (University of Limerick, 2011-2015). Following his PhD, he was employed as a Numerical Modelling Engineer for Aquamarine Power Ltd, Edinburgh (2014-2015), working in collaboration with Queen’s University Belfast. This preceded his academic appointments as Research Fellow at UCD (2015-2016) and Research Associate at the University of Edinburgh (2016-2019).
