Richard Johannes Lang

Richard Johannes Lang is a Researcher in the Department of Mathematics at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics. He is a core member of the GAPCOMB research group specializing in Geometric, Algebraic, and Probabilistic Combinatorics, contributing to UPC's prominence in discrete mathematics.

His research centers on Combinatorics with deep expertise in Extremal, Geometric, Algebraic, and Probabilistic subfields. He investigates structural graph properties, tiling problems, and combinatorial designs using probabilistic frameworks and computational methodologies, addressing fundamental theoretical challenges.

Lang's recent work on perfect mixed tilings exemplifies his integrative approach, merging geometric constraints with randomness to establish new existence conditions in combinatorial structures.

Scientific recognition:

• Ramon y Cajal Fellowship

He secured competitive funding including a Ramon y Cajal Fellowship with additional grant and participation in the R&D project "Structure, Randomness and Computational Methods in Extremal Combinatorics". Lang also supervises predoctoral researchers, evidenced by his role in the Ministry of Spain Predoctoral Grant (2024) for Antonio Kaique Barroso Fernandes.

Lang actively collaborates within the GAPCOMB group and internationally with researchers including Rue, Perarnau-Llobet, Serra, Hurley, and Joos, driving innovative combinatorial research at UPC.
