Connor graduated from University College Dublin with a first-class honours in BSc Mathematics in 2023. Now in Loughborough University, he works in theoretical computer science, focusing on cryptographic Boolean functions. He has held positions as a teaching assistant in both universities, for undergraduate and postgraduate modules in calculus, scientific computing, data mining, formal languages, and formal methods.
Connor's primary research focus is on Boolean functions in cryptography: higher order differential uniformity of functions over finite fields, and analysis of real-valued representations.
