Hi, I am Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at University of Delaware in Newark,Delaware.

I am interested in graph theory and combinatorics and their applications to other areas of mathematics and science.

I enjoy working with undergraduate and graduate students. During the academic year 2010-2011, I supervised one M.Sc. student Mike Tait. Mike defended his M.Sc. Thesis The Alon-Saks-Seymour and Rank-Coloring Conjectures on April 20, 2011 and he is now a Ph.D. student at the University of California at San Diego.

I am supervising two Ph.D. students Wiseley Wong and Weiqiang (Ricky) Li. If you are a student who likes discrete math, please let me know.

We have an active Discrete Mathematics group. I am organizing the Discrete Math Seminar during the Spring Semester 2012.  If you would like to give a talk, please let me know.

I was an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Toronto  (June-December 2008, my mentor was Mike Molloy) and at University of California at San Diego (February 2006-June 2008, my mentor was Fan Chung Graham). Before that, I had obtained a Ph.D. in Math at Queen's University at Kingston, Canada in 2005, a M.Sc. in Math at Queen's in 2002 and a B.Sc. in Math/Computer Science at University of Bucharest, Romania in 2000. My Ph.D. advisors were: David Gregory, Ram Murty, David Wehlau. My M.Sc. advisor was Dom de Caen and my B.Sc. advisor was Ioan Tomescu.

At Queen's, I used to play soccer with the famous (at least on a 1/4 mile radius around Queen's campus) Mel's Angels. It must have been because of our great shirts. Corey Willman found it amusing to write this about my soccer skills.
