I am Hermie Monterde (she/her). I recently completed my PhD math at the University of Manitoba under Dr. Steve Kirkland and Dr. Sarah Plosker. I am now a PIMS-Simons postdoctoral fellow at the University of Regina working with Dr. Karen Meagher.

My research interests lie in the intersection of combinatorics, linear algebra, and quantum information theory, particularly the applications of algebraic graph theory and combinatorial matrix analysis to quantum information processing. My primary interest is continuous quantum walks. Other interests include graph spectra, graphs with well-structured eigenbases, combinatorical matrices, matrix decomposition problems, and inverse eigenvalue problem for graphs. You will find more here.

I am a member of the Discrete Mathematics Research Group at the University of Regina. I am also leading a PIMS First-Year Interest Group on Quantum Walks. I have organized conferences in discrete mathematics, linear algebra, applied mathematics and theoretical physics.  I am also heavily involved in initiatives to promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), especially the rights of graduate students, gender equity, migrant justice and SOGIESC advocacy.

For more information, here is my CV as of Nov 2025.
