Oliver Janzer

Oliver Janzer serves as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) within the School of Basic Sciences and Department of Mathematics. He holds the specialized Chair of Extremal Combinatorics and maintains dual institutional affiliations through the Institute of Mathematics (ECOM) and Mathematics Teaching Service (SMA-ENS), operating from office MA C1 577 at Station 8, Lausanne.

His research centers on extremal combinatorics, investigating structural boundaries of combinatorial systems through graph theory and algebraic methods. This expertise directly informs his advanced teaching in courses like Graph Theory—covering fundamental concepts of modern graph structures—and Algebraic Methods in Combinatorics, where he applies linear algebra and polynomial theory to solve complex combinatorial problems. His work emphasizes theoretical frameworks for determining maximum/minimum configurations in constrained systems.
