About Me
About Me
Hi! I am postdoctoral researcher at the Universitat de Barcelona supervised by Vincent Pilaud, Arnau Padrol, and Kolja Knauer, funded by the Spanish-German project Combinatorial Polytope Theory (COMPOTE).
Previously, I was a Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, supervised by Alejandro Morales.
Before this, I obtained my MMath degree from the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Karen Yeats.
My research interests lie chiefly in algebraic combinatorics, with a particular focus on polytope theory, including flow polytopes such as the families of Pitman-Stanley polytopes and Chan-Robbins-Yuen polytopes. I am also interested in the combinatorics of quantum field theory as well as combinatorial algebraic geometry. Check out the Research tab to learn more about my publications and preprints.
You can reach me at william dot dugan at ub dot edu (and also at wdugan dot math at gmail dot com). I use pronouns: he/him/his.
