Theo Douvropoulos

Theo Douvropoulos is an Instructor (postdoc) in the Department of Mathematics at Brandeis University. He holds a PhD from the University of Minnesota under the supervision of Vic Reiner, followed by postdoctoral positions at IRIF (Paris) with Guillaume Chapuy and as the Marshall H. Stone Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Currently (Fall 2024), he is on the academic job market. His research focuses on Algebraic Combinatorics, emphasizing Coxeter groups, Artin groups, hyperplane arrangements, and their interplay with representation theory, differential geometry, poset homology, and Frobenius manifolds.

Key educational milestones include his PhD at the University of Minnesota, a postdoc at IRIF, and a visiting position at UMass Amherst. His work spans foundational questions in Cataland combinatorics, recursion-based proofs, and enumeration of factorizations in reflection groups. Recent publications address deformations of reflection arrangements, Hurwitz number generalizations, and combinatorial tilings, reflecting a blend of algebraic, geometric, and enumerative approaches. While his research has produced 15+ papers, he has not yet listed formal advisees or grants in the provided texts.
