My main field of research is combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory, and their abundant multi-disciplinary applications. I am also interested in trigonometric sums and the connections between abstract and linear algebras.

Carlos Martins da Fonseca (Figueira da Foz, Portugal, 1968) is a full professor at the Kuwait College of Science and Technology. He is Doctor of Science by the Technical University – Sofia, Bulgaria. He is the editor-in-chief of Special Matrices, a journal on structured matrices by De Gruyter.
