About Ron Graham A few words on research for graduate students A website for Erdös' problems on graphs Some clarification about quasirandom graphs The convocation speech at the University of Waterloo

Fan Chung Graham (professional name: Fan Chung , Chinese name ) is a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at UC San Diego. She holds the Paul Erdos Chair in Combinatorics. She paints watercolors, especially in seascape and portraits (click the Erdös' painting below). A good part of her work in mathematics was described in the AMS Notics article The mathematical life of Fan Chung by Steve Butler.


Here is a reversed chronological list of her work in mathematics and computer science:

• Graph theory in the information age, (an article for Notices of AMS with translation in 中文)
  • Random graphs with general degree distributions
  • Percolation on any given host graph
  • Pagerank of graphs and local partitioning algorithms
  • Network games
• Spectral Graph Theory
• Quasi-random graphs
• Unavoidable graphs and universal graphs
• Ramsey theory

Other topics that she has investigated now and then include:
| discrete geometry| algorithms| Steiner trees| Buckyball| hypercubes| codes|.
