Department of Mathematics and Statistics

Background

Tan Nhat Tran is dedicated to research in combinatorics, especially its connections with commutative algebra, algebraic topology and probability theory. Tran's research over the past few years has focused on the theory of arrangements of hyperplanes, especially how the combinatorial properties of hyperplane arrangements interact with the discrete geometric structures (e.g., graph, polytope, root system), topological objects (e.g., Poincare ? polynomial, CW-complex), algebraic concepts (e.g., logarithmic derivation, Hopf algebra) and probabilistic models (e.g., expectation, vine copula).
