Semester 1

LM Advanced Topics in Combinatorics

Research

Research Themes

  • Extremal graph and hypergraph theory
  • Extremal set theory

Research Activity

My research focuses on problems in extremal combinatorics. I am particularly interested in extensions of extremal results in graph theory to hypergraphs of higher uniformities. In this context, I have studied extremal problems for hypergraphs under different notions of quasirandoness. More recently I also have studied related topics in extremal set theory.
