Richard Ehrenborg is a Swedish mathematician working in algebraic combinatorics.[1] He is known for developing the quasisymmetric function of a poset.[2] He currently holds the Ralph E. and Norma L. Edwards Research Professorship at the University of Kentucky [3] and is the first recipient of the Royster Research Professor at University of Kentucky.[4]
