International Appointments & Recent Activities

Prof Irene Sciriha, Dept of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, has been elected to serve on the committee of The International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry at its June 2024 General Meeting in Dubrovnik, after she has been chosen by the nominating committee on the basis of her publications.

1.     Prof Irene Sciriha delivered a presentation as keynote speaker at the Computers in Scientific Discovery 10 (CSD10) held at KULAK, the Catholic University of Leuven Belgium, 28th to 30th June, 2024. https://csd10.be/

2.     Prof. Irene ScirihaProf Irene Sciriha delivered a presentation as one of the four leading researchers of Spectral Graph Theory, Manitoba Canada WinCom Virtual Conference 2024.

3.     Head of delegation at 10th Slovenian Conference on Graph Theory: SICGT
Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. 18-24 June 2023. Led three members of the GCGN project team who gave talks to present their research.

4.     Mini-Symposium: Chemical Graph Theory in SICGT2023
A special sub-theme concerns the class of nut graphs as a special tribute to Prof. Irene Sciriha (University of Malta), a pioneer in this area. These graphs have emerging applications in chemistry and molecular physics.

Research Overview

My Work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License.

My main areas of research are in graph theory, linear algebra and combinatorics. I am particularly interested in graph spectra, the polynomial reconstruction conjecture and applications to chemistry. I have also done some work on outerplanar graphs and group theory.
