Hi, I’m Zhouningxin Wang

I am now a lecturer at School of Mathematical Sciences, Nankai University in Tianjin, China .

I obtained my Ph.D. at IRIF, Université Paris Cité on May 24th, 2022, under the supervision of Reza Naserasr. I mainly work on colorings, flows, and homomorphisms of graphs and signed graphs. Here are my Ph.D. thesis and the defense slides. I was funded by FSMP Cofund MathInParis from 2018 to 2021 and by ANR HOSIGRA from 2021 to 2022.
