Victor Falgas Ravry

Victor Falgas Ravry is an Associate Professor in Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, Umeå University. He holds a Docent qualification and has been affiliated with Umeå University since 2016, following a Kempe research fellowship (2012-2014) and a tenure as Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University (2014-2016).

• Education: MMath (University of Cambridge, UK, 2004-2008); PhD (University of London, UK, 2008-2012)

Research Interests: His work focuses on extremal combinatorics and discrete probability, particularly extremal graph and hypergraph theory and random graph models. These fields address optimization problems in discrete structures and probabilistic modeling of complex networks.

Awards: He has received significant research funding, including:

• Swedish Research Council Project Grant (VR 2021-03687) for 2022-2025
• Swedish Research Council Starting Grant (VR 2016-03488) for 2017-2021

Teaching & Organization: Since 2020, he serves as head of the Master's programmes in Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, and deputy head of the Bachelor's programme in Mathematics since 2022. He regularly organizes the Discrete Mathematics Seminar, the Midwinter Workshop in Discrete Probability, and an upcoming extremal graph/hypergraph workshop at the Mittag-Leffler Institute.
