Rob Irving is Honorary Research Fellow in Computing Science at University of Glasgow. Research focuses on stable matching problems, combinatorial optimization, and algorithmic solutions to resource allocation challenges. Core contributions include extensions to stable roommates problem and sex-equal matching algorithms.

Publications analyze matching under preferences with applications in education, labor markets, and healthcare. Developed efficient algorithms for student-project allocation, fixture scheduling, and rank-maximal matching. Collaborations include healthcare logistics and school placement systems.

Methodological innovations integrate graph theory, optimization techniques, and game-theoretic approaches to solve complex matching problems with constraints.
