Laboratory of Combinatorial and Geometric Structures – Combinatorics and discrete geometry at MIPT

Laboratory of combinatorial and geometric structures

Soon on Big Seminar:

February 19

Big Seminar (in English)

Online

Welcome!

We are the Laboratory of Combinatorial and Geometric Structures at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. On this website, you can learn about Lab activities and members, as well as related events and useful materials like past and future workshops, talks, and video lectures. The lab aims to initiate collaboration and exchange between foreign and Russian researchers who work on different theoretical questions in the fields of Combinatorics, Discrete and Computational Geometry, and Theoretical Сomputer Science, and it was formed in December 2019.

Head: Dr. Andrey Kupavskii

Other organizers: Dr. Alexandr Polyanskii, Dr. Maksim Zhukovskii
