Research summary
AI-generated

Mihai Ciucu works in combinatorics, the branch of mathematics that counts and analyzes discrete arrangements. Much of the research focuses on 'tilings'—ways of covering regions like hexagons or the Aztec diamond with small pieces such as lozenges or dominoes—and on related problems from statistical physics involving dimer systems (models of how particles pair up on a grid). A recurring goal is proving exact counting formulas and uncovering symmetries and large-scale patterns (such as the 'arctic circle') in these tiling and matching problems.
