Our colleague, Prof. Nicolas Sanhueza Matamala, will be an invited speaker at the 2nd Brazilian School of Combinatorics (EBC) at IMPA in Rio de Janeiro, taking place from March 10-14, 2025. [Read More]

The Aix-Marseille University was where Professor Anahí Gajardo chose to spend a research semester from February to July 2024. There, she worked organizing a thematic month dedicated to groups, complexity, dynamics, and word combinatorics. She also led several vulgarization activities and gave talks about her research at several French mathematics laboratories.

About Us

Our research group is composed of five professors from the Universidad de Concepción. We are affiliated with the Mathematical Engineering and Computer Science Departments, and our work spans a range of collaborative efforts across academic programs. We actively contribute to the undergraduate programs in Mathematical Engineering and Informatics and three postgraduate programs: the Master's in Computer Science, PhD in Applied Mathematics, and PhD in Computer Science.

Our work covers a broad range of topics within discrete mathematics, with particular emphasis on Boolean networks, combinatorics, and discrete dynamical systems. We investigate the structural and dynamic properties of Boolean networks, exploring their applications in various complex systems. In combinatorics, our work delves into extremal, structural, and probabilistic aspects of discrete structures such as graphs, aiming to uncover fundamental properties and develop efficient algorithms to solve combinatorial problems. Additionally, we study discrete dynamical systems, analyzing how they evolve and their implications for broader mathematical and applied contexts.
