## Hamed Hatami

I'm an associate professor at the School of computer science and an associate member at the department of Mathematics and Statistics at McGill University.

I received my PhD from the department of Computer Science, University of Toronto under the supervision of Professors Michael Molloy and Balazs Szegedy. Before joining McGill, I spent a year as a Veblen fellow at the department of Mathematics, Princeton University.

## Research Interests

• Analytic methods in Combinatorics and Theoretical Computer Science
• Limit theory for graph sequences
• Analysis of Boolean functions
