Curriculum Vitae

  • You can find a brief CV here.

Research

My research falls into the departmental research theme ACE (Algorithms: Complexity and Engineering). Some of my particular research interests are:

  • Algorithmic aspects of communication networks
  • Time-varying graphs and networks
  • Algorithms for wired and wireless networks
  • Computing with explorable uncertainty
  • Approximation and on-line algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems
  • Algorithmic graph theory

Publications

For details, please refer to my list of publications here. There is also a webpage with slides of a few talks I have given.

Past Projects

Program Committees

I was/am involved in the program committees of the following recent/upcoming conferences and workshops:

Older News

  • The following book has been published:
    Algorithms Unplugged

    B. Vöcking et al. (Eds.), Algorithms Unplugged, Springer, 2011.

    The book presents some of the most beautiful algorithmic ideas in 41 articles written in colloquial, nontechnical language. (I wrote the chapter "Majority - Who Gets Elected Class Rep?".) The aim of the book is to communicate the fascination of algorithms and computer science to high-school students. The book can be understood without any prior knowledge of algorithms and computing.

  • Algorithm of the Week:
    Algorithmus der Woche This was an initiative of the Fakultätentag Informatik in Germany. For one whole year, a different algorithm was presented each week, in a manner accessible to high school students.
  • The work on the following book has been completed:
    LNCS3418

    U. Brandes and T. Erlebach (Eds.), Network Analysis - Methodological Foundations, LNCS Tutorial 3418, Springer Verlag, 2005.

    This book is the product of GINA (GI-Dagstuhl Seminar on Network Analysis).

    Thanks to all contributors!
