Research: Combinatorial Mathematics

Interrelations of Graph Theory, Combinatorial Designs and the Theory of Error-Correcting Codes, with a point of view from Applied Algebra, Geometry and Topology.

Symmetry-search endeavor in algebraic and combinatorial structures, including hypercubes, Cayley graphs and other colored structures found via codes and designs, finite fields and geometries. This has taken us, for example, to the discovery of a vertex-transitive cubic graph graph on 112 vertices which is not edge-transitive (1993 joint with A. E. Brouwer and C. Thomassen, previously attributed by I. Bouwer to R. M. Foster, 1972 unpublished, and described by others since 2005 as the Ljubljana graph) as a self-complementary graph of the Hamming shell, namely the complement of the Hamming code in the 7-cube.

At present, involved in geometric and combinatorial properties of perfect error-correcting codes and related topics in algebraic graph theory, combinatorial designs and domination in graphs.
