Master's and PhD in Discrete Math at the University of Victoria

The Discrete Mathematics Group at the University of Victoria in Canada welcomes applications from candidates interested in pursuing research at the Master’s or PhD level starting in September 2026. We have a weekly research seminar and offer graduate level courses on a wide range of topics in discrete math and related topics. Our research areas include a wide range of topics in combinatorics, discrete mathematics, graph theory and algorithms.

* Richard Brewster, adjunct, [email protected]: graph algorithms, homomorphisms, coverings and packings
* James Currie, adjunct, [email protected]: combinatorics on words, formal languages
* Peter Dukes, [email protected]: designs, codes, hypergraphs, combinatorial matrix theory
* Jing Huang, [email protected]: structural and algorithmic aspects of graph theory
* Melissa Huggan, adjunct, [email protected]: combinatorial game theory, pursuit-evasion game theory
