Marcos Noy Serrano

Marcos Noy Serrano is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), where he is a key member of the GAPCOMB research group focused on Geometric, Algebraic and Probabilistic Combinatorics. With a career spanning over three decades, he has established himself as a leading researcher in combinatorics and discrete mathematics.

His research interests center on combinatorics, particularly in graph theory, enumerative combinatorics, and computational geometry. Noy's work frequently explores planar graphs, random structures, and combinatorial enumeration, with significant contributions to understanding the properties and counting of various combinatorial structures. His research combines algebraic, geometric, and probabilistic approaches to tackle fundamental problems in discrete mathematics.

Noy's scholarly output shows consistent productivity with over 300 documented activities, including numerous journal articles in top combinatorics publications, research projects, and conference presentations. His recent work (2021-2024) focuses on chordal graphs with bounded tree-width, enumeration of various planar graph structures, random cubic planar maps, and logical properties of random sparse structures, demonstrating his continued engagement with cutting-edge problems in combinatorics.

Among his notable recognitions are the prestigious Medalla Narcís Monturiol al mèrit científic i tecnològic and the Humboldt Research Award, highlighting the international impact of his work. He has also led significant research projects including the María de Maeztu Program for Centers and Units of Excellence in R&D and the COntemporary COmbinatorics and Applications (COCOA) project.

Noy has supervised doctoral students, including Larrauri, L. who completed work on First Order Logic of Random Sparse Structures. He maintains active research collaborations across Spain and internationally, contributing to the vibrant combinatorics research community.
