Eric Babson

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eric Kendall Babson (born before 1970) is an American mathematician.

Babson received his PhD in 1993 from Robert MacPherson at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (A combinatorial flag space). As a student, he was a Graduate Fellow of the National Science Foundation from 1988. He was at MSRI in 1996/97, at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1997/98 and at the Mittag-Leffler Institute in 1992 and 2005 . He was a professor at the University of Washington and has been a professor at the University of California, Davis since 2006 .

Babson deals with topological combinatorics , algebraic combinatorics , representations of path algebras, topology of random simplicial complexes. and pre-sheaves on finite categories as generalizations of graphs. He also deals with complex dynamic systems in biology.

He worked a lot with Dmitry Feichtner-Kozlov (Dmitry Kozlov), among other things on the proof of a conjecture by Laszlo Lovasz for topological obstructions for graph coloring.
