Welcome Rutger Campbell and Debsoumya Chakraborti, new members of IBS Discrete Mathematics Group

The IBS discrete mathematics group welcomes Dr. Rutger Campbell and Dr. Debsoumya Chakraborti, new research fellows at the IBS discrete mathematics group from August 16, 2020.

Rutger Campbell received his Ph.D. from the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Jim Geelen. He is interested in matroid theory and structural graph theory.

Debsoumya Chakraborti received his Ph.D. from the Program of Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization at the Carnegie Mellon University in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Po-Shen Loh. He is interested in extremal combinatorics, probabilistic combinatorics, and random graphs.

2020 Combinatorics Workshop (2020 조합론 학술대회) was held on August 24 online

On August 24, Monday, the 2020 Combinatorics Workshop (2020 조합론 학술대회) was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This local workshop series began in 2004 and has been continued to be one of the biggest annual gathering of people in combinatorics located in Korea. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been reduced to a one-day online conference on Zoom. It was hosted by Kyung Hee University and IBS Discrete Mathematics Group.

The workshop website: https://cw2020.combinatorics.kr

There were 5 invited speakers.

  • Sejeong Bang (방세정), Yeungnam University, Geometric distance-regular graphs
  • Ringi Kim (김린기), KAIST, Decomposing planar graphs into graphs with degree restrictions
  • Sangwook Kim (김상욱), Chonnam National University, Combinatorics of lattice path matroid polytopes
  • Jinyoung Park (박진영), Institute for Advanced Study, Tuza’s Conjecture for random graphs
  • Jongyook Park (박종육), Kyungpook National University, On distance-regular graphs with induced subgraphs $K_{r,t}$

There were 4 contributed talks.

  • Byung-Hak Hwang (황병학), Seoul National University, Acyclic orientation polynomials
  • Jaeseong Oh (오재성), Seoul National University, On linearization coefficients of q-Laguerre polynomials
  • Jun Seok Oh (오준석), Incheon National University, An inverse Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv theorem for finite groups
  • Tuan Tran, IBS Discrete Mathematics Group, The singularity of random combinatorial matrices

Welcome Ben Lund and Tuan Tran, new research fellows in the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group

The IBS discrete mathematics group welcomes Dr. Ben Lund and Dr. Tuan Tran, new research fellows at the IBS discrete mathematics group from August 1, 2020.

Ben Lund received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at Rutgers University in 2017 under the supervision of Prof. Shubhangi Saraf. Before joining the IBS, he was a postdoc at Princeton University and a postdoc at the University of Georgia.

Tuan Tran received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at the Freie Universität Berlin in 2015 under the supervision of Prof. Tibor Szabó. Before joining the IBS, he was a lecturer at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, a postdoc at ETH Zürich, and a postdoc at Czech Academy of Sciences. He won the IBS Young Scientist Fellowship.

Yunbum Kook (국윤범) gave a talk on finding a small equivalence instance for the minimum edge-cut problem at the Discrete Math Seminar

On August 11, 2020, Yunbum Kook (국윤범) from KAIST presented his work on the existence of a connectivity-c mimicking network, which is a graph preserving the size of all minimum edge-cuts between any partition of a given set of terminals up to a constant c and an efficient algorithm to find one. The title of his talk was “Vertex Sparsification for Edge Connectivity”.

Robert Ganian gave a talk on structural approaches to the integer linear programming at the Virtual Discrete Math Colloquium

On August 5, 2020, Robert Ganian from Technische Universität Wien gave an online talk giving an overview of recent approaches to the integer linear programming based on the structural analysis of graphs associated with the instances at the Virtual Discrete Math Colloquium. The title of his talk was “Solving Integer Linear Programs by Exploiting Variable-Constraint Interactions“.
