معرفی
Sogol Jahanbekam is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at San José State University (SJSU), affiliated with the College of Science. She specializes in graph theory and combinatorics, with a focus on extremal, structural, and algorithmic aspects of graph theory. Her research includes probabilistic methods in combinatorics and algebraic approaches to graph problems.
Education: She holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2013), advised by Douglas B. West; an M.S. in Mathematics from Sharif University of Technology (2008), advised by Saieed Akbari; and a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from Shiraz University (2006).
Research interests span extremal graph theory, structural properties of graphs, algorithm design for graph problems, and applications of combinatorial methods to engineering design challenges. Her work bridges theoretical advancements with practical applications, such as graph coloring techniques for optimizing manufacturing systems and additive manufacturing processes.
Publications highlight contributions to dynamic graph coloring, antimagic labeling, and graph partitioning. Recent work explores applications of graph theory to design flexibility and physical integration problems in engineering. Her collaborative projects include NSF-funded research on improving additive manufacturing through graph-based design concepts.
Awards: No awards explicitly mentioned in provided texts.
Teaching: She has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in discrete mathematics, graph theory, linear algebra, and combinatorics at SJSU, RIT, and the University of Colorado Denver. Courses include MATH 129A (Linear Algebra), MATH 179 (Graph Theory), and MATH 42 (Discrete Mathematics).
Labs/Teams: Active in interdisciplinary collaborations between mathematics and engineering, particularly in applying combinatorial methods to design optimization problems.
