Dr. Yi Zhao recently received a five-year Collaboration Grant ($42,000, 2020-2025) for Mathematicians from the Simons Foundation.
The grant will support his research on “Extremal problems on graphs, hypergraphs, and posets”. According to the Simons Foundation, the goal of this grant is to substantially increase collaborative contacts between accomplished, active mathematicians in the United States by providing them support for travel and visitors.
