 English AACR2 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules Person created 2022-07-25 human Helen Cohn updated 2026-02-05 human https://www.eoas.info/biogs/P007067b.htm person Greenhill Catherine FAA AACR2 Mathematician Catherine Greenhill is a mathematician noted for her expertise in asymptotic, probabilistic and algorithmic combinatorics, probability, and computer science. Her research focuses on random graphs, combinatorial enumeration and Markov chain. She heads the Combinatorics research group at the University of New South Wales where she of Professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics.

"Catherine Greenhill is internationally recognised as a leading expert in asymptotic, probabilistic and algorithmic combinatorics, undertaking research at the interface between combinatorics, probability and theoretical computer science. She tackles difficult, fundamental questions about ubiquitous combinatorial objects, such as graphs and hypergraphs. She has achieved major breakthroughs including establishing the efficiency of a natural algorithm for generating graphs, and finding threshold values for the emergence of certain structures in random hypergraphs. Her highly cited research provides new formulae and algorithms that have found broad applications in many areas, including cryptography and physics."
