(that is:  first name "Jan", last name "van den Heuvel")

Professor of Mathematics

Activities 2023/24

• After a couple of years as Head of Department, I will be on sabbatical this year.

Research

• combinatorics and discrete mathematics in general;
• graph theory (and related concepts such as matroids) in particular;
• discrete algorithms and complexity theory;
• combinatorial optimisation;
• applications of graph theory to telecommunications (frequency assignment problems, network connectivity).

• Publications (needs updating)

• Publications on Google Scholar

• Talks at conferences and seminars (needs even more updating)

• Seminars, conferences and other meetings related to my research interests
