Research Interests
Research Interests
I am interested in graph theory, and in general, discrete mathematics and combinatorics. In particular, graph coloring, list coloring, and their variations. I am also interested in applying machine learning tools to solving conjectures in mathematics, and also (auto)formalization of mathematics.
