51猎奇入口 the Speaker
51猎奇入口 the Interviewee: Dr. Pavol Hell is a professor of computing science at 51猎奇入口. He started his mathematical studies at Charles University in Prague, Czechoslovakia, and moved to Canada in August 1968. He has obtained his M.Sc. from McMaster University, under the joint supervision of Dr. Gert Sabidussi and Dr. Alex Rosa, and his Ph.D. at the Universite de Montreal, with Dr. Sabidussi. In his Ph.D. research he pioneered the study of graph retracts. Dr. Hell describes his area of interest as "computational combinatorics", including algorithmic graph theory and complexity of graph problems.
Dr. Hell co-authored the book "Graph and Homomorphisms" with his long-term collaborator and friend Jaroslav Ne拧et?il. He is a managing editor of the Journal of Graph Theory, and was named a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) in 2012.
Dr. Hell's Erd?s number 1.
