Rob Eggermont is an assistant professor in the research group Discrete Mathematics at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He is a member of the Discrete Algebra Geometry group, and plays a leading role in algebraic graph theory, finite incidence geometry, and discrete Lie theory. His research focuses on finiteness properties in settings of variable infinite dimension symmetry, and the general theory of structure in these settings, along with practical applications. His work involves the matter of coefficients in matrices and rank, and how these relate to varieties described by independent variables through algebraic geometry. Furthermore, he investigates algorithms for testing membership in various polynomial time. His research applications span fields such as phylogenetics, chemistry, and algebraic statistics, especially in systems exhibiting a substantial amount of symmetry, assisting in managing millions of variables efficiently. Rob earned his MSc in Mathematics from Leiden University in 2011, graduating cum laude, followed by a PhD from TU/e in August 2015, also graduated cum laude. He completed his postdoctoral research at the University of Michigan before returning to TU/e as an assistant professor. He has published in various leading journals, including Algebra Number Theory and Linear Algebra and its Applications, and has spoken at numerous academic symposiums and workshops.
