__Research__
\\ \\
A. Schrijver does research in discrete mathematics, optimization, and algorithms, resulting in articles, books, and algorithms like for railway planning. His current focus is on applying methods from classical mathematics like algebra and geometry to more modern areas like combinatorics and optimization. Examples are applying representation theory to obtain sharper code bounds with semidefinite programming, and applying invariant theory to characterize the partition functions from statistical physics.
