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]
