Biography.
He received his PhD in Mathematics from the National University of Singapore in 1997 under the supervision of Professor Koh Khee Meng. Following his doctoral studies, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Massey University in New Zealand and the University of Waterloo in Canada. In 2001, he joined the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University.
His research interests lie in graph theory. Over the past 30 years, he has collaborated successfully with numerous researchers, publishing around 100 articles in international journals and co-authoring four books. He has also completed a substantial body of high-quality work. In 2000, he independently proved the Shameful Conjecture on chromatic polynomials of graphs.
Abstract.
Graph theory is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationships and connections between objects. It provides a powerful framework for modeling and analyzing networks, structures, and interactions across various disciplines, including computer science, physics, biology, and social sciences.
In this talk, the speaker will explore the connections between graph theory and other areas, as well as its applications in diverse fields such as computer science, biology, social sciences, and education. In particular, he will introduce some of the applications of graph theory in mathematics education
30th AME Anniversary Event
The Association of Mathematics Educators (AME) was founded in December 1994, and this year marks the 30th Anniversary for AME. As a professional association for mathematics teachers and educators in Singapore, AME devotes itself to the enhancement of the quality of mathematics education in Singapore through the promotion of activities and build closer working ties among members of the mathematics educators’ fraternity.
In celebrating AME’s 30th Anniversary, the AME and the Department of Mathematics and Mathematics Education (National Institute of Education) will be co-hosting the workshops specially for mathematics teachers.
