Discrete Mathematics

This week we are hosting Marcin Briański, who is a visiting PhD student from Jagiellonian University in Poland.

Following last week’s MATRIX-IBS Workshop Structural Graph Theory Downunder III, this week we are hosting several visitors: Kevin Hendrey, Rutger Campbell, Pascal Gollin, Sebastian Wiederrecht (all from IBS Korea), James Davies (from Cambridge), and Liana Yepremyan and Bryce Frederickson (both from Emory).

The group is hosting several international visitors this week.
Gwenaël Joret‬ (Université Libre de Bruxelles)
Nick Cavenagh (University of Waikato)
Piotr Micek (Jagiellonian University)
Pat Morin (Carleton University)

The group is currently hosting two Gordon Preston Fellows, Vida Dujmovic and Bruce Reed.

This week the group is hosting the following international visitors:

Rutger Campbell, Pascal Gollin, Kevin Hendrey (Institute for Basic Science, Korea)

Jane Tan, Youri Tamitegama, Freddie Illingworth (University of Oxford, UK)

They will work with Monash staff and students, Marc Distel, Robert Hickingbotham, Tony Huynh and David Wood.

Update (6th June 2022): The week was very productive, leading to the paper “Product structure of graph classes with bounded treewidth“.

We don’t always keep this page up to date with visitors and this might explain why: We’re having a happy deluge of them!!
In a period of a little more than a month we’re hosting:

Jason Gao (Carleton University)
Krzysztof Choromanski (Google research)
Nick Cavenagh (University of Waikato)
Marston Conder (University of Auckland)
Gautam Appa (London School of Economics)
Reshma Ramadurai (University of Waikato)
Saad El-Zanati (Illinois State University)
Penny Haxell (University of Waterloo)

It’s great to have so many talented people visiting to talk maths — it makes for a very vibrant atmosphere of ideas.

During July – August 2013, PhD student Adeline Langlois will be visiting from the LIP laboratory at ENS de Lyon, France. She is working with Ron Seinfeld on lattice-based cryptography and will give a seminar on “Classical hardness of learning with errors” to the group.

Welcome to Emily Marshall who is a Ph.D. student supervised by Mark Ellingham at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Emily will be visiting us for two months, working on problems in graph minors and hamiltonicity.

Update: Emily’s visit produced the paper, “Circumference and pathwidth of highly connected graphs” with David Wood.
