Bio

My name is Kevin O'Neill. I am currently a Gibbs Assistant Professor in the Applied Math Program at Yale University working primarily with Anna Gilbert. In 2019, I received my Ph.D. in mathematics from UC Berkeley under the direction of Michael Christ and then worked as a Krener Assistant Professor with Kevin Luli at UC Davis.

My current research interests are primarily in applied math, focusing on manifold fitting, embedding of data, and dimension estimation. I retain interest in Whitney-type problems with a particular emphasis on nonlinear problems.

My earlier research was in harmonic analysis, in particular problems related to extremizers and stability theorems.

In my free time, I like to read books, watch basketball, and train for marathons.
