    Biography


    Ken Duffy has been at Maynooth University since 2005, where he is a Professor of Applied Probability and the Director of the Hamilton Institute, the university's interdisciplinary applied mathematics research institute. He obtained a B.A. (mod) in 1996 and Ph.D. in 2000, both in mathematics and awarded by Trinity College Dublin, but with the latter supervised by the late Prof. John T. Lewis at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

    His research encompasses the application of probability and statistics to science and engineering. As a result of broad multidisciplinary interests, his work has been published in mathematics journals (e.g. Annals of Applied Probability, Journal of Applied Probability, Journal of Mathematical Biology), engineering journals (e.g. IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking) and scientific journals (e.g. Cell, Nature Communications, Science).

    He is a co-founder of the Royal Statistical Society's Applied Probability Section (2011), co-authored a cover article of Trends in Cell Biology (September, 2012), is a winner of a best paper award at the IEEE International Conference on Communications (2015), and the Best Paper award from IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering (2019). He has had the good fortune to have extended visits at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara, The Research Laboratory of Electronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Immunology Division at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research.

    He has ongoing collaborations with colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on information theory and communications, at Rutgers on DNA Forensics, at Institute Curie and Imperial College London on blood system development, and at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research and AstraZeneca on immunology.

    With co-Directors Prof. James Gleeson (UL), Prof. Claire Gormley (UCD), and vice-Directors Dr Catherine Hurley (MU), Dr Norma Bargary (UL) and Prof. Nial Friel (UCD), he is co-Director of the Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Research Training in Data Science, which will train over 130 Ph.D. students from 2019 to 2026.

    He is a co-PI on the European Union ITN Quantitative T Cell Immunology and Immunotherapy, is a sub-contractor on a National Institute of Justice grant held by Prof. C. Grgicak, is a co-PI with Prof C. Lo Celso on an RIA-RS grant, and has a joint funded project with Prof. P. Hodgkin and Medimmune.
