Biography

Steve Gismondi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Guelph. His research interests are interdisciplinary and focus on the study of problems and their solutions within the field of classical and quantum complexity theory. He is particularly interested in heuristic solution techniques applied to NP-complete and coNP-complete decision problems. These decision problems involve determining whether certain properties, such as Hamiltonicity in graphs or the feasibility of linear programs, can be verified in polynomial time. His work has begun to apply techniques to the Graph Isomorphism decision problem, exploring the properties of Birkhoff polytopes and algorithms for determining the existence of perfect matchings in bipartite graphs. Gismondi encourages prospective graduate students who have a strong background in computational sciences and are willing to improve their coding and scientific application testing skills.
