David Conlon


I am a Royal Society University Research Fellow here in DPMMS and a College Research Associate in St John's College. From 2007 to 2010, I was a Junior Research Fellow at St John's College. My PhD was completed under the supervision of Professor W.T. Gowers. For a full CV, see here. My principal research interest is Ramsey theory, although I am interested in almost all aspects of combinatorics and number theory. The notes for a short course in Ramsey theory may be found here. Notes for a course on extremal graph theory will appear here soon. Here are some of my papers: Extremal results in sparse pseudorandom graphs, with J. Fox and Y. Zhao, submitted. Two extensions of Ramsey's theorem, with J. Fox and B. Sudakov, submitted. Combinatorial theorems in sparse random sets, with W.T. Gowers, submitted. Bounds for graph regularity and removal lemmas, with J. Fox, to appear in Geom. Funct. Anal. Erdos-Hajnal-type theorems in hypergraphs, with J. Fox and B. Sudakov, to appear in J. Combin. Theory Ser. B. On two problems in graph Ramsey theory, with J. Fox and B. Sudakov, to appear in Combinatorica. An improved bound for the stepping-up lemma, with J. Fox and B. Sudakov, to appear in Discrete Appl. Math. The Ramsey number of dense graphs, to appear in Bull. London Math. Soc. On the Ramsey multiplicity of complete graphs, to appear in Combinatorica.
