Postdocs

Abeer obtained her PhD in mathematics from University of Washington, supervised by Cynthia Vinzant. She is working at Georgia Tech with Josephine Yu and Greg Blekherman. Her research is in real algebraic geometry and combinatorics.

Papri completed her Ph.D. at IIT Bombay, India. Her research interests revolve around the intersection of algebra, geometry, and combinatorics, with a focus on specific areas such as convex algebraic geometry, nonlinear algebra, and algebraic combinatorics. At Georgia Tech she is working with Greg Blekherman.

Changxin is a postdoc at Georgia Tech, supervised by Matt Baker. Before this, he completed his Ph.D. at Brandeis University under the supervision of Olivier Bernardi. His research interests lie in combinatorics, including algebraic graph theory, enumerative combinatorics, and connections between combinatorics and other branches of mathematics.

Yanli obtained her Ph.D. in mathematics from Georiga State University, supervised by Guantao Chen. She is working at Georgia Tech with Xingxing Yu. Her research is edge coloring and structural graph theory.

Sean received his Ph.D. from the Combinatorics & Optimization department at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Laura Sanità.  He was previously a postdoctoral fellow at ICERM’s Discrete Optimization: Mathematics, Algorithms, and Computation semester program.  His research interests are in combinatorial optimization, polyhedral combinatorics, and the theory of linear programming.

Jiaxi Nie’s research interest lies in extremal and probabilistic combinatorics. He earned his PhD from the University of California, San Diego under the guidance of Jacques Verstraëte. Previously, he held a two-year postdoctoral position at the Shanghai Center of Mathematical Sciences under the supervision of Hehui Wu. At Georgia Tech he is working with Xiaoyu He.

Evelyne completed her PhD in Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo, under the supervision of Prof Luke Postle. Her research interests include graph coloring, structural graph theory, and graph algorithms.

Corrine does research in extremal and probabilistic combinatorics and their intersections with statistical physics. She received her PhD in mathematics from Rutgers University.
