Yanwen Luo is a PIMS postdoc at Simon Fraser University and the University of Victoria. His mentors are Professor Bojan Mohar at SFU and Professor Ryan Budney at UVic. The main focus of his research lies in the field of discrete and computational geometry and topology. He obtained his Ph.D in 2020 at the University of California, Davis under the supervision of Professor Joel Hass.

In 1962, Tutte proposed a simple method to produce a straight-line embedding of a planar graph in the plane, known as Tutte's spring theorem. It leads to a surprisingly simple proof of a classical theorem proved by Bloch, Connelly, and Henderson in...

In 1962, Tutte proposed a simple method to produce a straight-line embedding of a planar graph in the plane, known as Tutte's spring theorem. This construction provides not only one embedding of a planar graph, but infinite many distinct embeddings...
