Academic Achievements
  • Authored a set of lecture notes and two textbooks: 'An Invitation to Enumeration', 'An Invitation to Analytic Combinatorics: From One to Several Variables' (Springer), and 'Analytic Combinatorics in Several Variables, 2nd Edition' (Cambridge, with R. Pemantle and M. C. Wilson). Jeremy Chizewer wins 2024 Governor General Gold Medal. 'Analytic Combinatorics in Several Variables, 2nd Edition' Now Available. 'An Invitation to Analytic Combinatorics' hits 13k chapter downloads.
Research Experience
  • Previously a CRM-ISM postdoctoral fellow at UQAM (2019 – 2020) and a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania (2017 – 2019). As of September 1, 2025, he is the associate chair for undergraduate studies in C&O.
Education
  • Received doctorates from the École normale supérieure de Lyon and the University of Waterloo in 2017.
Background
  • He is an associate professor in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo (with a cross-appointment in the School of Computer Science), interested in leveraging computational algebraic geometry, analysis, and topology to create effective tools for combinatorics, computer science, and mathematics.
