  • Comment: If independent, secondary sources can be found showing that the "BCCD Shrinker" has had a "significant impact" he may qualify for an article. Also check the linked criteria above to see if any other specific criteria can be met, or if multiple reliable secondary sources talking about him with significant coverage can be found, currently his homepage and papers aren't "independent" and the Maths Genealogy Project isn't "significant coverage" - it's very minimal. MolecularPilot 🧪️✈️ 23:33, 23 November 2024 (UTC)Thank you. I added more detail and references. BTW, The BCCD shrinker is mentioned in Ricci soliton. Given that the paper is quite recent by math standards, it also has already received a lot of citations (>20). But I'm not sure if that is worth mentioning in the article.


Ronan J. Conlon is a mathematician working on Einstein manifolds, special holonomy, PDEs on Riemannian manifolds and geometric analysis. He obtained his PhD in 2011 under the supervision of Mark Haskins at Imperial College London with the thesis On the Construction of Asymptotically Conical Calabi-Yau manifolds.[1] Before coming to Imperial College London he was Peter Topping's first master student in 2007.

Prof. Conlon held postdoc positions at McMaster University and l’Université du Quebec à Montreal in Canada, before becoming an Assistant Professor at Florida International University.[2] Currently, he is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at University of Texas at Dallas.[3] He is famous amongst other things for being a co-discoverer of the BCCD shrinker[4] in Ricci flow together with Richard Bamler, Charles Cifarelli, and Alix Deruelle. The BCCD shrinker is one of a very small number known examples of singularity models for Ricci flow in dimension four. He co-organised the conference Special Metrics in Complex Geometry that took place at UT Dallas from May 16-20, 2022.
