Jane Tan

Dr. Jane Tan is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Mathematics at the University of Oxford's All Souls College since 2023. She holds a PhB (Science) with Honours in Mathematics from the Australian National University (2015-2018) and a DPhil in Mathematics from St John’s College, Oxford (2019-2023). Her research focuses on combinatorics with particular emphasis on reconstruction problems, structural graph theory, probabilistic combinatorics, and intersections with geometry/topology.
