Information

I am a third-year computer science PhD student at University of Bergen supervised by Fedor V. Fomin. I got my master's degree at University of Helsinki, where I did research in the Constraint Reasoning and Optimization group.

My research interests are in algorithms and graph theory. I am interested in understanding how the structure of the inputs affects the computational feasibility in combinatorial problems, and developing more efficient algorithms to exploit the structure.
