Dr. Hassan Izanloo is a Lecturer in Statistics at the University of Leeds, specializing in Enumerative Combinatorics, Graph Theory, Probability and Statistics, and Machine Learning. He completed his undergraduate and master's degrees in Pure Mathematics in Iran before transitioning to a research role and spending three years as a mathematics lecturer and module leader at Parand Islamic Azad University in Tehran. He earned his PhD in August 2019 under the guidance of Professor Roger Behrend and served as a teaching associate in Statistical Sciences at the University of Bristol from October 2019 until June 2023. Joining the University of Leeds in October 2023, Dr. Izanloo is also the module leader for OMAT5200M. His research interests focus on various aspects of enumerative combinatorics, including alternating sign matrices, polytopes, partially ordered sets, and graphs. Dr. Izanloo is a qualified Teaching Fellow in Higher Education and is a member of the London Mathematical Society (LMS).
