Dr. Carsten Thomassen named Honorary Fellow of the ICA


Honorary Fellowship in the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications is awarded to an individual who has made pre-eminent contributions to combinatorics or its applications.

Dr. Carsten Thomassen is one of the most influential graph theorists of our time. He was a Founding Fellow of the ICA, and a member of the ICA Council for 25 years (1990-2015).  In his long and distinguished career, he has authored or co-authored over 230 publications, including the frequently cited book Graphs on Surfaces (with B. Mohar). He has been Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Graph Theory since 1989, and for decades has served on editorial boards of several other combinatorics journals of the highest rank.

For his pioneering work in graph theory and profound influence in the area of combinatorics he has received numerous awards and recognitions, of which we mention just a few. He has been a Member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters since 1990, and was knighted in the Order of the Dannebrog for his contribution to Danish science in 1995. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto in 1990, and received the Lester R. Ford Award from the Mathematical Association of America in 1993. During 2001-2008, he was included on the ISI Web of Knowledge list of the 250 most cited mathematicians. In May 2008, he visited the Isaac Newton Institute and Cambridge University, England, as a Rothschild Professor – an honour reserved for “pre-eminent mathematicians from around the world”. 

The Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications is an international scholarly society that was founded in 1990 by Ralph Stanton; the ICA was established for the purpose of promoting the development of combinatorics and of encouraging publications and conferences in combinatorics and its applications.

It will take place from June 3 to 9, 2018 in Arco, Province of Trento, Italy. It will be the 20th edition of this conference held in Italy--the first one in 1981, the second in 1982, and every two years ever since--with the participation of many experts in finite geometries and their applications from all over the world. The main themes of the conference will be Finite Geometries, Incidence Structures, Combinatorial Designs and Graph Theory. Arc

Conference announcement: FQ15 13-17 June 2022, Aubervilliers, France

 https://fq15.telecom-paris.fr/ International Conference on Finite Fields and Their Applications 2022 (Fq15) The conference  Fq15  will take place at Campus Condorcet, Aubervilliers, France (on line 12 of the Paris metro, at one station from the limit of Paris) during the week of June 13-17, 2022. Fq15  will continue the 30-year-old tradition of a forum for researchers on the mathematical aspects of finite fields and their applications.  Scientific Scope Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Theory: structure of finite fields, primitive elements, normal bases, polynomials, number-theoretic aspects of finite fields, character sums, function fields, planar functions and almost perfect nonlinear functions, equations over finite fields. Computation: algorithms and complexity, polynomial factorization, decomposition, and irreducibility testing, sequences and functions. Applications: algebraic coding theory, cryptography, algebraic geometry over finite fields, finite incidence
