Olivier Bernardi is a Professor of Mathematics and Chair of the Brandeis University Department of Mathematics. His research focuses on combinatorics, with applications in probability, mathematical physics, computer science, and algebra. He specializes in bijective methods, encoding complex geometric structures into simpler forms like lattice paths and trees. A key interest is the combinatorics of maps (embedded graphs), which intersect fields like random surface theory and representation theory. Education includes a Ph.D. from Université Bordeaux 1, and M.S. and B.S. degrees from École Normale Supérieure Paris. His work bridges theoretical combinatorics with practical algorithms, emphasizing structural insights through bijections. Recent publications explore Tutte polynomials, percolation on triangulations, and geometric drawing algorithms. Awards and grants are not explicitly listed, but his leadership role as Department Chair highlights institutional contributions. He advises on research in discrete mathematics and collaborates on projects involving graph enumeration and algebraic combinatorics. His research spans foundational topics, with applications in both pure and applied mathematical domains.
