Edwin O'Shea

Edwin O'Shea is a Professor of Pure Mathematics at James Madison University's Department of Mathematics and Statistics, joining in 2011. He holds a PhD in Combinatorics from the University of Washington and a BS in Mathematics/Statistics from University College Cork, Ireland.

His research investigates integer partitions as lattice points in polyhedra and modern axiomatizations of classical geometries, including Euclid's Elements. His publications demonstrate expertise in combinatorial optimization and commutative algebra applications to geometric foundations.

His recent mathematical contributions explore unification principles in elementary number theory and refined combinatorial theorems using diagrammatic methods.
