Asaf Ferber

Asaf Ferber is Associate Professor in Mathematics at University of California, Irvine, School of Physical Sciences. His research spans discrete mathematics including combinatorial games, random graphs, extremal hypergraph theory, and quantum computation.

Research explores Hamiltonian cycles in random graphs, structural properties of pseudorandom graphs, and quantum algorithms for combinatorial problems. Recent work develops quantum approaches to graph learning and sparse recovery in random matrices.
