Erin Meger
Graph Theory
I study games on graphs, most frequently Cops and Robbers. My masters thesis defined a new variant of the game, Cops, Robbers, and Barricades. Lately, I have been studying variants of the game, including exploring the capture time of a graph. When I'm not playing games, I also model networks both graphs and hypergraphs. My PhD thesis defined multiple deterministic models of complex networks. My research relies heavily on graph structures, including extremal and saturation type problems.
Currently, I am on a hypergraph kick and enjoy redefining any problem from a hypergraph perspective. I'm usually interested in most graph theory problems I hear, so please come chat with me anytime!
