Stephen Melczer is an associate professor at the University of Waterloo where he leverages computational algebraic geometry, analysis, topology to create effective tools in combinatorics, computer science, and mathematics. His research interests include analytic combinatorics and the development of computational methods for exploring multivariate generating functions. He has previously served as a postdoctoral fellow at the Université du Québec à Montréal and the University of Pennsylvania. Melczer is actively involved in the academic community, currently serving as the associate chair for undergraduate studies in Combinatorics & Optimization. His work includes writing lecture notes and textbooks, such as 'An Invitation to Enumeration' and 'Analytic Combinatorics in Several Variables', which provide comprehensive frameworks for studying analytic combinatorics. He is also a member of several committees, including the CanaDAM Executive Committee and AofA Steering Committee. His engagement in the academic events is notable, having participated as a plenary speaker at FPSAC 2025 and as organizing committee co-chair for AofA 2025.
