John Engbers

Dr. John Engbers is an Associate Professor and Undergraduate Chair in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Marquette University. His research focuses on Graph Theory and Combinatorics, with particular emphasis on extremal problems related to graph colorings, independent sets, and combinatorial structures. He teaches courses such as Calculus I and Foundations of Mathematics.

Research Highlights

• Explores coloring conjectures (e.g., Tomescu’s conjecture) and extremal graph properties
• Analyzes maximal matchings and independent sets in structured graphs
• Investigates combinatorial identities and multipermutation structures

Recent Work

Recent publications (2023–2017) emphasize extremal graph theory and combinatorial enumeration, with applications to tree structures, H-colorings, and matrix inversion problems. His work bridges theoretical results with algorithmic and pedagogical insights.
