Bertille Granet awarded the 2024 British Combinatorial Committee PhD Thesis Prize in Combinatorics

Dr Bertille Granet is a former PhD student at the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Professors Daniela Kühn and Deryk Osthus.

The certificate awarded to Bertille Granet as part of her prize

The British Combinatorial Committee PhD Thesis Prize in Combinatorics is awarded biennially to recognise outstanding UK PhD research in the field of Combinatorics, broadly interpreted. Bertille was presented with her award at the 30th British Combinatorial Conference at Queen Mary, University of London, where she gave the BCC PhD Prize lecture.

Bertille's thesis, Path and cycle decompositions of graphs and digraphs, is "a thesis of outstanding quality, making significant contributions to Extremal Combinatorics... Most notably, Bertille Granet proves, as a single author, a conjecture of Jackson on the existence of decompositions of bipartite tournaments into Hamilton cycles".
