Oisín Faust is a mathematics researcher working in optimisation. His research includes local linear convergence of Douglas-Rachford for linear programming (ICML 2022), a Bregman-divergence view of the difference-of-convex algorithm (AISTATS 2023), and sum-of-squares / logarithmic Sobolev inequality results with Hamza Fawzi. He has published in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (with Hamza Fawzi) and at NeurIPS 2021. A structured people index lists him as Quantitative Researcher at Tower Research Capital from around May 2024; that employment is index-only and not independently confirmed here.

Oisín Faust is a mathematics researcher specialising in convex and non-convex optimisation and operator/matrix analysis. He co-authored papers with Hamza Fawzi of the University of Cambridge, appearing at ICML 2022, AISTATS 2023, NeurIPS 2021 and in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, with the Cambridge Centre for Mathematical Sciences (CCIMI) listing him as a member working on optimisation. He was a pupil at The High School, Dublin and received a Cambridge mathematics offer for 2014-15. A structured index lists him as a Quantitative Researcher at Tower Research Capital from May 2024 (index-only, not primary-confirmed).

Notes
  • Index-only employment lead (unverified, not primary-source confirmation): a structured people index lists Oisin Faust as Quantitative Researcher at Tower Research Capital with a start around May 2024; whether this is current is not established by the index.
  • Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. See consolidated verification note to be updated; index-only leads (Tower Research Capital, G-Research) are not yet corroborated by primary sources.
  • The High School, Dublin announced that Oisin Faust (class 6WR) received a conditional offer to read Mathematics at Christ's College, Cambridge for 2014-15 entry, confirming the Dublin school and Cambridge undergraduate path.2014
  • Olympiad identity: Oisin Faust represented Ireland at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2013 and 2014 (per the caller-supplied lead; IMO team pages to be confirmed).
  • Awarded the Irish Mathematical Society's Fergus Gaines Cup in 2013, presented 27 Aug 2013 at NUI Maynooth; the same page notes other recipients represented Ireland at the IMO, tying Faust into the Irish olympiad cohort.Aug 27, 2013
  • ORCID 0000-0002-3359-1949 lists one work: an IEEE Transactions on Information Theory article (Feb 2024) with Hamza Fawzi, confirming a research collaboration in optimisation/information theory.Feb 2024
  • CCIMI (Cambridge Centre for Mathematical Sciences) member page [contact omitted] lists research interest in Optimisation, corroborating a Cambridge PhD.
  • Co-authored 'A Bregman Divergence View on the Difference-of-Convex Algorithm' at AISTATS 2023 (PMLR v206).2023
