I got my Ph.D. from the School of Mathematics, University of Dublin (a.k.a. Trinity College) in 1997. My advisor was Prof. Siddhartha Sen. After that I had numerous postdoctoral and temporary faculty positions around the world (too many to list here!) before joining NTU as assistant prof (tenure track) in 2009.
