Klara Stokes

Klara Stokes is an Associate Professor in Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, Umeå University. She holds a qualification as a Recognised University Teacher. Her research focuses on incidence geometry, combinatorial structures, and their geometric realizations, with an emphasis on symmetries and motions. She also explores algebraic and geometric graph theory, finite field geometry, and applications in coding theory, cryptography, data privacy, and kinematics.

Her affiliations include membership in the Discrete Mathematics research group. Key research themes involve incidence geometries with trialities, projective rigidity of configurations, and privacy-preserving graph database models. She collaborates on topics such as rigidity circuits, Assur graphs, and geometric decoding of subspace codes.

Publications highlight her work on flag transitive geometries, pebble game algorithms for sparse posets, and structural rigidity analysis. Her research bridges pure mathematics and applied areas like data privacy through probabilistic models and clustering techniques.

Stokes has contributed to foundational work on pentagonal geometries, minimal genus graph embeddings, and combinatorial configurations. She remains active in advancing geometric and combinatorial methods with interdisciplinary applications.
