Ruilin Shi serves as the William W. Elliott Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Duke University. Their office is located at 120 Science Drive, Durham, NC.
Education:
- Ph.D. from Georgia Institute of Technology (2025)
Dr. Shi specializes in combinatorial mathematics with particular focus on extremal graph theory and planar Turán problems. Their research investigates maximum edge counts in planar graphs avoiding specific substructures, particularly cycles of various lengths. This work bridges theoretical computer science and pure mathematics, contributing to fundamental understanding of graph limitations under planarity constraints.
Recent publications demonstrate expertise in determining precise bounds for planar Turán numbers, with significant results for 7-cycles and general cycle graphs. Their work connects circuit graphs, near triangulations, and connectivity properties to solve longstanding conjectures in the field.
