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 ) . 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 .
