Marco Caoduro is a postdoctoral fellow at UBC Sauder, working under the guidance of Joseph Paat and Bruce Shepherd. His research focuses on the combinatorial properties of geometric objects, linear and integer programming, graph theory, and discrete geometry. He completed his Ph.D. at Université Grenoble Alpes under the supervision of András Sebő. During this time, he developed a strong interest in the mathematical structures of geometric intersection graphs, which has become a central theme in his research.

In an electric grid, 'phase imbalance' refers to the unequal distribution of electrical loads across the three phases of the grid. This imbalance can lead to inefficiencies, increased power losses, and equipment damage. A helpful analogy is a three...

The boxicity of a graph G is a key graph parameter introduced by Roberts in 1969. It represents the minimum dimension d such that G can be realized as the intersection graph of a family of axis-parallel boxes in R^d. Boxicity is an important measure...

M2PI matches graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with industry partners to engage in a two week long collaboration to solve an industrial mathematics challenge. M2PI participants gain valuable skills making them ready to work in non-academic...

Given a family R of rectangles in the plane, the packing number of R, denoted by $\nu$(R), is the maximum size of a set of pairwise disjoint rectangles in R, and the hitting number, denoted by $\tau$(R), is the minimum size of a set of points having...
