It is our great pleasure to remind you of the conference "Graphs, groups,
and more: celebrating Brian Alspach's 80th and Dragan Marušič's 65th
birthdays" that will take place in Koper, Slovenia, from 28 May to 1 June,
2018.
The conference is dedicated to our colleagues Brian Alspach, on the
occasion of his 80th birthday, and Dragan Marušič, on the occasion of his
65th birthday.
Brian Alspach has had a distinguished career, primarily at Simon Fraser
University in Canada.
Since his retirement in 1999 he has held adjunct positions at the
Universities of Regina (Canada) and Newcastle (Australia).
He supervised 13 PhD students and has been a keen advocate and mentor for
young mathematicians, and for establishing innovative programs of study.
His research interests have included permutation groups and their actions
on graphs; tournaments and digraphs; decompositions and factorizations of
graphs; Hamilton cycles and other cycles in graphs, and more.
As one of the first mathematicians from the former Yugoslavia with a PhD
obtained abroad, Dragan Marušič returned home to take a teaching position
at the University of Ljubljana after having spent ten years at various
universities in England and USA.
He then moved to the University of Primorska where he now serves as the
third rector.
He has had a profound influence on mathematics in Slovenia, and is regarded
as the founder of the Slovenian school of algebraic graph theory.
He has been passionately involved in the promotion of mathematics and
mathematicians in Slovenia, having supervised 7 PhD students and mentored
many other young mathematicians.
His research interests focus on the concept of symmetry in the broadest
sense, with permutation groups and their actions on graphs as a primary
"point of interest".
You may now submit your abstracts at
https://conferences.famnit.upr.si/event/4/call-for-abstracts/.
Abstract submission will close on 30 April 2018.
The conference will take place at UP FAMNIT in Koper, Slovenia.
