William Graham

William Graham is a Professor and Interim Head of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Georgia. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the supervision of David Vogan. His academic role involves leadership in departmental operations alongside research and teaching responsibilities.

His research focuses on algebraic geometry and algebra, with emphasis on:

• Equivariant theories (K-theory, cohomology, Chow groups)
• Geometric structures related to algebraic groups (flag varieties, Schubert varieties, Springer fibers)
• Combinatorial aspects of Schubert calculus and representation theory

His recent publications (2008–2023) predominantly explore Schubert varieties, equivariant K-theory, and Springer fibers, with recurring themes in geometric combinatorics, Lie theory, and singularity analysis. The work demonstrates consistent engagement with algebraic groups and topological methods across diverse problem spaces.

Doctoral Advising: He has supervised three Ph.D. students to completion:

• Wenjing Li
• Brandon Samples
• Ben Wyser
