Julian Sahasrabudhe


I am a Canadian mathematician interested in extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, and intersections with probability, analysis and combinatorial number theory. Most recently, I have been interested in Ramsey theory on graphs, random polynomials and random matrices.

I am a university assistant professor in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS) at the University of Cambridge. I started in September 2021. In August 2021, I was awarded the European Prize in Combinatorics. In October 2023 I was awarded the Salem prize.

Prior to my appointment at Cambridge, I was a Junior Research Fellow at Peterhouse, University of Cambridge (2017-2021). In 2017-2018, I was visiting Rob Morris at IMPA (Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada) in Rio de Janerio, Brazil as a post-doc of excellence. I did my PhD under the supervision of Béla Bollobás at the University of Memphis, defending in March of 2017.
