Biography

Fiona Skerman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Uppsala University. She has a background in probabilistic combinatorics, focusing on random graphs and random trees. Her research investigates the modularity function introduced by Newman and Girvan in 2004, which is employed to measure the clustering of communities within graphs. Skerman's work particularly examines how this modularity behaves in random graphs and its application to understanding phase transitions in random discrete structures, order logic, and automata involving random discrete structures. With academic merits including the title of Docent, her contributions to the field are recognized through various publications and citations in the academic community.
