Rich mathematical structures arise when algebraic topology meets graph theory, in the framework of discrete cubical homology of graphs. Unlike the conventional approach that models graphs as 1-dimensional simplicial complexes, discrete cubical homology permits the study of higher-dimensional analogues of spheres within a purely discrete setting. Despite the discrete nature of graphs, the computation of these homology groups—even for graphs of modest size—poses significant theoretical as well as algorithmic challenges. My research investigates the computational and combinatorial properties of discrete cubical homology for graphs.
