Hello! I am a research fellow at the University of Zagreb (supported by the EU's Widening Fellowship), working in extremal and probabilistic combinatorics. I completed my PhD at ETH Zurich in 2018 under the supervision of Benny Sudakov. From 2018 until 2021 I was a Research Fellow at Monash University.
Topics I have recently worked on include asymptotic enumeration, sparse Ramsey theory, arithmetic Ramsey theory, random and pseudorandom graphs. I love hearing about new problems and applying techinques from e.g. algebra and probability, so feel free to contact me on nina.kamcev at math.hr.
Upcoming talks & activities
25 November: Copenhagen-Jerusalem Combinatorics Seminar
21-26 November: participating in the Banff workshop on Graph Product Structure Theory (21w5235)
30 November 2021: science@home with Penkala. Ivana Valentić (mathematics) and Martina Glavan (medicine) will present their research (in Croatian) to a non-specialist audience.
Mutimir, 28.-29. 12. - a retreat for young researchers from all fields.
Some past engagements...
8 September: Talk at Eurocomb 2021
coordinator at Middle European Mathematical Olympiad 2021
co-organising the CMSA seminar and the CMSA day in 2020
organising a round-table for Penkala on the 'purpose of life' in academia. Here is an illustration of our discussion.
