Kevin Vander Meulen

Kevin Vander Meulen is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University. His research focuses on linear algebra, matrix theory, and combinatorics, with particular emphasis on sign patterns, eigenvalue properties, graph theory, and combinatorial matrix analysis. He has published extensively in top-tier journals such as Linear Algebra and Its Applications, Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra, and Discrete Mathematics.

His work explores topics like spectral properties of matrices, graph joins, well-covered graphs, and zero forcing sets. Recent contributions include studies on non-symmetric eigenvalue multiplicities, Hessenberg companion matrices, and circulant graphs. He collaborates with researchers such as Adam Van Tuyl and Michael Tait, contributing to interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of algebra and discrete mathematics.
