Dr. Blair D. Sullivan is a Professor in the School of Computing at the University of Utah. She holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Princeton University and a B.S. in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from Georgia Tech. Prior to Utah, she was an Associate Professor at NC State University (2013–2019) and a Research Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (2008–2013).
Research Interests: Parameterized algorithms, structural graph theory, applied discrete mathematics, random graphs, and combinatorial scientific computing. Current work focuses on integrating structural graph theory into scalable network analysis tools, with applications in robotics, fairness in algorithms, and biomedical networks.
Awards & Honors:

- Collegium de Lyon Fellow (2025–2026)
- Moore Investigator in Data-Driven Discovery (2014–2024)
- Inaugural Pathway of Progress Alumnae Honoree (Georgia Tech)
Key Projects:
- Developed software tools like CONCUSS, spacegraphcats, and BEAVr for graph analytics and network analysis.
- Explores edge augmentation for fairness in social networks and robotic motion planning using parameterized algorithms.
Grants:
- NSF-funded projects on fairness in network information flow ($1.5M).
- NIH grant for network-based drug repositioning algorithms.
Labs & Collaborations: Active in the Laboratoire de l'Informatique du Parallélisme (LIP) at ENS de Lyon during her 2025–2026 sabbatical. Collaborates with SIAM and ICERM on workshops and conferences.
