معرفی
Dr. Logan Crew is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo. His research focuses on algebraic combinatorics, particularly applications of algebra to graph theory, including chromatic symmetric functions and their generalizations. He earned his Ph.D. in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania under advisors Jim Haglund and Greta Panova, with earlier degrees from the University of Maryland and the University of Pennsylvania. Crew collaborates extensively with researchers like Sophie Spirkl, Oliver Pechenik, and others on topics such as K-theoretic analogs, graph polynomials, and structural graph theory.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of Pennsylvania (2020)
- M.S. in Mathematics, University of Pennsylvania (2017)
- B.S. in Mathematics, University of Maryland, College Park (2015)
Research Interests: Chromatic symmetric functions, Tutte polynomials, algebraic graph theory, combinatorial K-theory, graph invariants, and combinatorial algebra. His recent work includes studies on prime Cayley graphs, homogeneous graph sets, and vertex-weighted symmetric functions.
Teaching: Crew has taught courses such as MATH239 (Introduction to Combinatorics), CO480 (History of Mathematics), and calculus/linear algebra for engineering students. He emphasizes pedagogical innovation and mathematical discovery.
Grants & Collaborations: Acknowledged by the Simons Foundation, he collaborates with institutions globally. No specific grants are listed, but his work is supported by member institutions.
