Lam earned his Doctor of Philosophy in 1974 under Herbert Ryser at Caltech with thesis Rational G-Circulants Satisfying the Matrix Equation.
He is famous for the computer proof, with Larry Thiel and South. Swiercz, of the nonexistence of a finite projective plane of order 10. He is a professor at Concordia University in Montreal. The eponymous Lam"s problem is equivalent to finding a finite projective plane of order 10 or finding 9 orthogonal Latin squares of order 10.
