Clinton Conley

Clinton Conley is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, part of the Mellon College of Science. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from UCLA and has held postdoctoral appointments at the Kurt Gödel Research Center (Vienna, Austria) and Cornell University. His research focuses on descriptive set theory, measurable group actions, and Borel graphs, exploring intersections with ergodic theory, combinatorics, and set theory.

Key research areas include measurable chromatic numbers, Borel combinatorics, and hyperfinite equivalence relations. His work often bridges abstract set-theoretic principles with concrete problems in dynamics and graph theory. Notable awards include the Julius Ashkin Award.
