Maria Axenovich

Maria Axenovich is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Her research focuses on graph theory and combinatorics, emphasizing unavoidable structures in graphs, Ramsey-type problems, Turán densities, and extremal graph theory.

• Education: Undergraduate in Novosibirsk, Russia; Ph.D. at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under Zoltan Füredi.
• Positions: Previously at Iowa State University; since 2012 at KIT.
• Editorial Roles: Editor-in-Chief of the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics (2020–present); Associate Editor of Order (2016–present).

Recent Research Trends: Her 2023–2025 publications address hypercubes, poset Ramsey numbers, interval colorings, extremal subgraphs, and canonical Ramsey theorems. Collaborations span institutions in the US, UK, Hungary, and Germany.

Students and Collaborations: Supervises Ph.D., Master’s, and Bachelor students. Current advisees include Dingyuan Liu, Christian Winter, and Lea Weber. Former students like Jonathan Rollin and Torsten Ueckerdt have contributed to extremal graph theory and hypergraphs.

Courses: Teaches Linear Algebra, Combinatorics, and Graph Theory at KIT. Leads seminars on Extremal Set Theory and Discrete Mathematics.
