Graham Brightwell is a British mathematician working in the field of discrete mathematics.[2][3]

He was a research student at the University of Cambridge and obtained his PhD in 1988 writing on "Linear Extensions of Partially Ordered Sets" under the supervision of Béla Bollobás.[1]

He has published nearly 100 papers in pure mathematics, including over a dozen with Béla Bollobás. His research interests include random combinatorial structures; partially ordered sets; algorithms; random graphs; discrete mathematics and graph theory.[4][5]

Professor Brightwell started playing Othello in 1985, after finding himself sharing an apartment with Imre Leader.[6] He has finished 3 times as runner-up in the World Othello Championship and is a 5-time British Champion, and has served as chairman of the British Othello Federation and as editor of the British Othello Newsletter.[7][8]
