John Shareshian receives NSF Grant
John Shareshian studies problems in combinatorics that arise in or have consequences for other fi elds of mathematics. There are close connections between combinatorics and other fi elds of mathematics in which non-discrete objects are studied, including topology and geometry. The work of Shareshian involves the close study of such connections, with the aim of solving problems about both discrete and non-discrete structures.
