Clement WH Lam

Clement Wing Hong Lam is a Canadian mathematician who studies combinatorics .

Lam received his PhD in 1974 with Herbert Ryser at Caltech (Rational G-Circulants Satisfying the Matrix Equation ) ${\ displaystyle A ^ {2} = dI + \ lambda J}$ . He is a professor at Concordia University in Montreal .

In 1992 he received the Lester Randolph Ford Award for The search for a finite projective plane of order 10 . In it he showed that no such finite projective plane of order 10 exists. This corresponds to the solution of a problem named after him (Lam's problem).

In 2006 he received the Euler Medal .
