معرفی
Anurag Bishnoi is a tenured Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). His research lies at the intersection of discrete mathematics, finite geometry, extremal combinatorics, coding theory, and the polynomial method. He has held prior research positions at The University of Western Australia as a DECRA Research Fellow (2019–2020) and at Freie Universität Berlin as a postdoctoral researcher in the Combinatorics and Graph Theory group (2017–2019).
His research interests include:
- Finite Geometry
- Extremal Combinatorics
- Coding Theory
- Spectral Graph Theory
- Polynomial Method
- Ramsey Theory
- Incidence Geometry
Anurag’s recent publications focus on deep connections between combinatorial structures, coding theory, and finite geometry. His work includes explicit constructions of optimal blocking sets and minimal codes using expander graphs, improvements on bounds for the trifference problem, and advances in Ramsey theory via geometric constructions. He frequently employs algebraic and combinatorial techniques, including the Chevalley-Warning theorem and expander mixing lemma, to solve extremal problems.
He has received recognition as a DECRA Research Fellow and has published in leading journals such as Transactions of the AMS, Journal of the London Mathematical Society, and Combinatorica. His research is highly collaborative, involving mathematicians such as Noga Alon, John Bamberg, and Bart De Bruyn.
Notable scientific contributions and awards include:
- DECRA Research Fellowship
- Significant results on Ryser’s conjecture and minimal Ramsey graphs
- Novel constructions of clique-free pseudorandom graphs
- Generalizations of classical theorems in finite field theory
Anurag advises no formal students listed in the text but collaborates extensively. He also serves as Chief Scientific Advisor for the edtech startup Not A Bot, where he designs mathematical games like 'It’s a trap'. He maintains a research blog that functions as his official website and has been instrumental in disseminating his work and mentoring through expository writing.
