My Expertise

My expertise is in algorithms for computationally “intractable” problems from a large number of domains. While intractable in classical complexity theory, domain-specific features and structure often make these problems easier to solve in the real world. Modern approaches, like parameterized algorithms and complexity, identify and exploit the domain-specific structure. Quantum algorithms have the potential to further speed up these computations.

Please get in touch to talk about projects that appeal to both industry and academia.

Biography

I am a Professor in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at UNSW.

I joined UNSW in 2012, first as an ARC DECRA Fellow and then as a Future Fellow. I obtained a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Bergen (Norway) under the supervision of Fedor V. Fomin in 2008. From 2009-2012, I held postdoctoral positions in Montpellier (France), Santiago (Chile), and Vienna (Austria).
