Gábor Damásdi

I am a mathematician working in combinatorial & discrete geometry. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the HUN-REN Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics and a teaching assistant at Eötvös Loránd University. Some of my favourite topics:

  • Geometric representations of graphs and hypergraphs
  • Coloring geometric graphs and hypergraphs
  • Graph drawings
  • Arrangements of pseudocircles
  • Ramsey theory
  • Helly-type theorems
