Short description of research profile

Central focus of the research of this group includes graph theory (with emphasis on extremal graph theory), complex networks (with emphasis on multiplexes, curriculum networks and network descriptors), mathematical chemistry (with emphasis on molecular descriptors, nanotechnology, peptide antibiotics), and discrete mathematics in general. Our goal is to obtain purely mathematical results and multidisciplinary applications.
