Zachary Hamaker

Associate Professor of Mathematics

I study algebraic combinatorics, with interests in Schubert calculus, symmetric functions, Coxeter groups, and permutation statistics.

My research explores the connections between combinatorial structures, algebra, and geometry, often through explicit bijections.

Research & publications

Background

I joined the University of Florida in 2019. Previously, I held postdoctoral positions at the University of Michigan and the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications at the University of Minnesota.

I received my Ph.D. in mathematics from Dartmouth College in 2014, advised by Peter Winkler.
