معرفی
Bojan Mohar is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University (SFU), within the Faculty of Science. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia (1986). His research focuses on advanced topics in graph theory, including topological graph theory (graphs on surfaces, planar graphs), graph minors, graph coloring (list coloring, edge-coloring, nowhere-zero flows), algebraic graph theory (Laplace eigenvalues, spectral analysis), and graph algorithms. Mohar's work bridges theoretical foundations with computational methods, emphasizing interdisciplinary applications.
His research interests span diverse areas such as the spectral properties of infinite graphs, graph embeddings, and combinatorial optimization. He is affiliated with the Centre for Operations Research and Decision Sciences (CORDS) at SFU. Mohar has made significant contributions to understanding graph structures, eigenvalues, and algorithm design, with a particular emphasis on topological and algebraic aspects. His recent work includes proofs of long-standing conjectures in graph theory and the development of efficient approximation algorithms for graph genus calculations.
Mohar’s academic contributions are reflected in his extensive publication record, focusing on graph minors, eigenvalue analysis, and topological embeddings. He teaches courses such as MATH 345 D100: Introduction to Graph Theory (Fall 2025). No formal advising relationships or awards are explicitly listed in the provided materials, though his research impact is evident through collaborations and symposium participations like the International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG).
