Zelealem Yilma

Zelealem Yilma is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University Qatar, part of the Mellon College of Science. They specialize in graph theory, combinatorics, and network analysis with a focus on extremal problems and structural graph properties. Their research often addresses spanning trees in regular graphs, network eccentricity, and extremal edge-colorings.

Key research interests include exploring the minimum spanning trees in multigraphs, structural constraints in networks, and Ramsey-type problems in graph colorings. Yilma's work frequently intersects with hypergraph theory and algorithmic combinatorics.

Publications highlight a consistent focus on combinatorial extremal problems, with recent work emphasizing 4-regular graphs (2024) and multigraph spanning tree enumeration (2022). Earlier contributions include studies on Erdős–Rothschild edge-coloring conjectures (2017) and antimagic graph properties (2013).
