This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $251,813 provides funding over three years from September 2023 through August 2026 to support research in combinatorial geometry and Ramsey theory at the University of California, San Diego under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The award will further the foundation's mission to advance the mathematical sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise.

Specifically, the funding will allow the principal investigator and graduate students to investigate three main areas: incidence geometry problems involving dense point-line arrangements in the plane; combinatorial and topological problems involving planar arrangements of curves and graph drawings; and classical and geometric Ramsey theory questions pertaining to point sets, triangle problems, visibility graphs, and unavoidable crossing patterns. The research aims to explore connections between combinatorics, topology, algebraic geometry, and computer science and characterize extremal configurations that have practical applications in fields like robotics, computer graphics, and cellular networks. The work is expected to enhance understanding of fundamental mathematical problems and interdisciplinary methods.
