Hello! My name is Sarah Houdaigoui. I am currently a Ph.D student at the Graduate university for advanced studies (SOKENDAI).
I am working under the supervision of Ken-ichi Kawarabayashi at the National Institute of Informatics in Tokyo.
I started my Ph.D in October 2023 and will therefore defend my thesis in July 2026.
During my Ph.D, I am working on excluded minors for surfaces and trying to improving the known bounds on parameters for these graphs.
My research interests lie in graph theory, combinatorics, algorithms and discrete mathematics. I am especially intested in graph structural theory, graph coloring and graphs on surfaces.
