Atlantic Technological University — Galway

Ian McLoughlin

Senior Lecturer in Mathematics & Computing

I teach and research across classical and quantum information, computational theory, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and mathematics, with a long-standing focus on applications of mathematics to computing. I work with industry and academic partners on applied and foundational problems in these areas.

01

Enterprise Ireland Innovation Vouchers

I'm open to Enterprise Ireland Innovation Voucher collaborations in computing and mathematics. Over the past decade I've completed several of these across a range of sectors applying mathematical and computational methods to concrete industry problems. If you have a technical problem that needs a mathematical or computational approach, get in touch to discuss whether it's a good fit.

PhD Supervision

I supervise PhD students in quantum computing, machine learning, and related areas of mathematics and computer science.

If you're considering a PhD with me, please get in touch with a clear outline of your academic credentials and a research proposal or area of interest. I'd also ask that you've thought about funding routes in advance of contact — whether through Research Ireland, an enterprise co-funded studentship, or another route — as this is usually a prerequisite.

Email me at ian.mcloughlin@atu.ie to inquire about supervision →

Fulbright

I was a Fulbright TechImpact Scholar at Stanford University. If you're a Fulbright scholar coming to Ireland, or considering an application, I'd be glad to hear from you — whether that's about the experience, Irish institutions, or just connecting once you're here.

Research & Teaching Funding Partnerships

I'm open to partnering on research or teaching funding applications where a mathematics or computing partner is needed — particularly Horizon Europe and other EU-funded schemes, as well as national funding calls.

Core areas: quantum computing, classical information and computational theory, and mathematics.

Email me at ian.mcloughlin@atu.ie as early in the process as possible →
