Yufei Zhao

Yufei Zhao is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he has been tenured since 2024. His research focuses on combinatorics, including extremal, probabilistic, and additive combinatorics, graph theory, and discrete geometry, with applications to computer science. He is best known for his work on equiangular lines with a fixed angle, for which he received the Fulkerson Prize in 2024, as well as contributions to sparse graph convergence and sphere packing bounds. He is also the author of the book Graph Theory and Additive Combinatorics: Exploring Structure and Randomness, published by Cambridge University Press in 2023.
