A graph theorist at heart and an advocate for education for everyone.
Hi, my name is Gyaneshwar Agrahari — you can also call me Gyan or G (My students call me Mr. G) . I was born and raised in Butwal, Nepal. I am currently a PhD candidate at Louisiana State University in the Mathematics Department working under Zhiyu Wang. I completed my Bachelor's at Youngstown State University with majors in Physics and Mathematics.
I primarily work in structural and extremal graph theory, applied machine learning, math education, and geospatial equity analysis. My dissertation focuses on counting subgraphs in planar graphs with higher connectivity and characterizing the extremal graphs.
My dissertation began with a question my advisor asked after a talk by Ryan Martin in April 2024: what happens to cycle counts in planar graphs when you add a connectivity condition? That question has kept us busy ever since. Read the story →
