Biography
Biography: In 2007, I received my PhD in mathematics from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne(CH). From 2008 to 2009, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Columbia University (US) in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. In 2009-2010, I was appointed as Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick (UK) in the Center for Discrete Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP) and the Warwick Business School (WBS). From September 2010 to July 2015, I was an Associate Professor at the Université Paris Dauphine (F) in the Computer Science and Mathematics Department. Currently I am a Professor at the University of Fribourg (CH), where I am heading the Decision Support & Operations Research Group together with Marino Widmer in the Department of Informatics. In 2022, I joined the Smart Living Lab project with some members of my team.
My main research interests are:
- Structural and algorithmic graph theory
- Combinatorial optimization
- Computational complexity
- Mathematical Modeling
