Chris Wells
(The mathematician formerly known as Chris Cox)
I'm currently a postdoc working with the discrete math group at Auburn University. Previously, I completed an RTG postdoc at Iowa State University. I obtained a PhD in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (ACO) from Carnegie Mellon University under the guidance of Boris Bukh . My research focuses on the interplay between probabilistic, algebraic and geometric tools in extremal combinatorics, but I find all areas of math to be beautiful. To anyone who wants to know more about what I do, I recommend watching this video.
