Combinatoria Algebraica en Sevilla

Laura Colmenarejo

Laura finished her PhD thesis titled “Stability in the combinatorics of representation theory” in 2016. Laura currently hold a tenure track position at North Carolina State Univesity. Laura is a rising star in the area of Algebraic Combinatorics.
Stefan Trandafir

Stefan was a frecuent visitor to the group during his PhD at Simon Fraser University in Vacouver. During this time, he delved into some ideas regarding the study of Kronecker coefficients, which partially stemmed from our group’s discussions. Additionally, he wrote an article with us on a new symmetry exhibited by the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. Stefan currently holds a postdoctoral position with the quantum information group of Adan Cabello (Sevilla).
Álvaro Gutiérrez Cáceres

Álvaro’s undergraduate senior thesis yielded two publications on the study of the plethysm of symmetric functions. Following his time in Sevilla, Álvaro authored a Master’s thesis at the University of Bonn under the supervision of Catharina Stroppel and Jacob Matherne. Presently, Álvaro is pursuing his Ph.D. under the guidance of Mark Wildon at Bristol University.
Luis Esquivias and Adrian Lillo.

In collaboration with Álvaro and the senior members of the group, Luis and Álvaro, both undergraduate students at the time, discovered a combinatorial proof of the Graham and Pollak formula for the determinant of the distance matrix of a tree, utilizing the Gessel-Viennot involution.
