Mike Zabrocki

Mike Zabrocki is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at York University, Toronto, Canada. His research focuses on algebraic combinatorics and representation theory, with a particular emphasis on symmetric functions, Hopf algebras, and partition algebras. He contributes to the Pure Mathematics discipline through explorations of combinatorial structures, group representations, and algebraic invariants.

His work spans theoretical advancements in algebraic structures such as quasisymmetric functions, Schur expansions, and Howe duality. Notable areas include the study of diagonal harmonics, plethysm coefficients, and the interplay between combinatorial algorithms and diagram algebras. Zabrocki's research also involves the analysis of symmetric group characters and their representations, often connecting abstract algebra with enumerative combinatorics.

Zabrocki is affiliated with the Keele, Glendon, and Markham campuses of York University. His academic contributions are further supported through collaborations and engagements in the broader mathematical community. Office location: Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Building, 2026.
