Career
editDwyer completed his B.A. at Boston College in 1969.[1]
He completed his Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1973. His doctoral thesis was on Strong Convergence of the Eilenberg-Moore Spectral Sequence and his doctoral advisor was Daniel Kan.[2] Afterwards he taught at Yale University and visited the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey before joining the faculty at the University of Notre Dame.[3]
In 1998 Dwyer was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin.[4] In 2007 he was awarded a Doctor Honoris Causa degree by the University of Warsaw.[3] He was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012. He is currently emeritus professor of mathematics at the University of Notre Dame.[1]
