Colin Defant is a researcher at Harvard University specializing in combinatorics and number theory. His work explores deep connections between combinatorial structures and algebraic properties, with a focus on permutation patterns, stack-sorting algorithms, and their applications to set partitions and Lassalle's sequence. Defant's research also includes topics such as fertility numbers, Catalan intervals, and the analysis of friends-and-strangers graphs. His publications frequently intersect with number theory, particularly through the study of binary codes, anti-power prefixes, and sequential dynamical systems. His contributions span both theoretical and algorithmic aspects of combinatorics, often involving intricate combinatorial enumeration and structural analysis.
