Jacob Fox

Hello! I am an Assistant Professor in the MIT Department of Mathematics. I completed my Ph.D. in mathematics at Princeton University. My advisor was Benny Sudakov.

My work is supported by a Simons Fellowship, an NSF grant, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, and an MIT NEC Corporation grant.

Research Interests:
Extremal combinatorics, algebraic and probabilistic methods in combinatorics, Ramsey theory, graph theory, combinatorial geometry, and applications of combinatorics to computer science.
