Information

I am a postdoc at BARC at the University of Copenhagen. I defended my PhD on 15th of May 2024 at the University of Bergen. My supervisor was Fedor V. Fomin. I got my master's degree at the University of Helsinki, where I did research in the Constraint Reasoning and Optimization group.

My research interests are in algorithms and graph theory. More precisely, I am interested in designing efficient graph algorithms, mostly from the viewpoint of parameterized algorithms, as well as in structural graph theory. My main focus is in the intersection of these two areas.
