Kreher, Ph.D. Contact Information Department of Mathematical Sciences Michigan Technological University 1400 Townsend Drive Houghton, MI 49931 Office: Fisher Hall Room 223 & MathLab 330 906.487.2948 (office) 906.523.5177 (home) 906.370.0666 (cell) Research Interests Application of algebraic methods to combinatorial structures such as graphs and designs. In particular, Cayley graphs on finite groups, Cayley maps, graph isomorphisms and (hamiltonian) decompositions, n-isofactorizations, combinatorial matrix theory, and combinatorial commutative algebra. My current research is in proving Alspach's conjecture for complete hamiltonian cycle decompositions of connected 6-regular Cayley graphs on finite abelian groups.
