Trung Vu

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

My name is Trung Vu. I am currently a fourth-year mathematics Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I obtained my BA in mathematics with a concentration in neuroscience from St. Olaf College. My advisors are Professor Philippe Di Francesco and Professor Rinat Kedem.

I am interested in algebraic combinatorics and combinatorial aspects of representation theory and mathematical physics. Specifically, I like to think about cluster algebra, integrable combinatorics and vertex models. Currently, I am studying the T-system, the Q-system, domino tiling of Aztec diamond and the artic curve phenomena. I put down some short introductory ideas from my own notes to each of these topics on the "Topics" tab above along with references for more details.
