# Jérémie Turcotte

I am a PhD student at McGill University under the supervision of Sergey Norin. My research topics are graph theory and combinatorics. My other interests include mathematical analysis, abstract algebra, algorithms and theorical computer science.

I previously completed a Master's degree in mathematics at Université de Montréal under the supervision of Gena Hahn and Ben Seamone. My Master's research was mainly focused on various aspects of the game of cops and robbers.

I'm currently organizing the McGill Discrete Mathematics and Optimization Seminar and the McGill Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Seminar.
