Sepehr Hajebi

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the C&O department at the University of Waterloo. In 2024, I was appointed Instructor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, but visa delays prevented me from taking up the position.

I received my PhD from the C&O department at the University of Waterloo in 2024. My thesis was Foreshadowing the Grid Theorem for Induced Subgraphs. My advisor was Sophie Spirkl.

Currently, my research is in combinatorics and graph theory, with a focus on structural graph theory. Broadly, I am also interested in topology and category theory.

“If there is one thing in mathematics that fascinates me more than anything else (and probably always has), it is neither “number” nor “magnitude,” but always form. And among the thousand and one faces that form chooses to reveal itself to us, the one that has fascinated me more than any other and continues to fascinate me is the hidden structure within mathematical things.”

— A. Grothendieck, Récoltes et Semailles, p. 43.
