Alice Lacaze-Masmonteil

PIMS-CNRS Post-Doctoral Fellow

About me

I am a PIMS-CNRS post-doctoral fellow at the University of Regina working under the supervision of Karen Meagher. My current research is foccussed on Erdős-Ko-Rado types theorems for latin squares.

I also recently completed my PhD at the University of Ottawa under the supervision of Mateja Šajna. My doctoral thesis was focussed on cycle decompositions of directed graphs. I also visited Daniel Horsley to collaborate at Monash University in Melbourne Australia for a period of seven months. During my doctoral studies, I was funded by the NSERC Postgraduate Scholarship Program. I also received the NSERC Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplement to fund my travels to Australia.

Research interests: Combinatorics, graph theory, cycle decompositions, and arrays.
