Peter Nelson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo. He currently serves as the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies. His research interests encompass structural extremal matroid theory and graph theory, with an emphasis on topics such as links coding theory, additive combinatorics, and finite geometry, particularly the theory of minor-closed classes and binary matroids. He has become interested in proof formalization using the Lean theorem prover. Nelson holds an NSERC Discovery Grant and has presented on binary matroids at various mathematical conferences, including CanaDAM 2019. His notable publications include works on random representable matroids, matroids omitting complete-graphic minors, and structures of binary matroids, published in respected journals such as the American Mathematical Society and SIAM.
