I am a junior professor at the Research Institute for Discrete Mathematics at the University of Bonn and a member of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics.
My research interests are mostly in the areas of combinatorial optimization and approximation algorithms. Some specific topics I have worked on recently are the traveling salesman problem, vehicle routing, and connectivity augmentation.
I obtained my PhD in 2020 from the University of Bonn, where my advisor was Jens Vygen. Afterwards I spent two years as a postdoc in the group of Rico Zenklusen at ETH Zurich. For my PhD thesis I received the the Richard-Rado Prize, the EATCS Distinguished Dissertation Award, and the Hausdorff Memorial Prize. Recently, the Breakthrough Prize Foundation announced that I will receive a 2023 Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize.
I am an Associate Editor of the journal Mathematics of Operations Research and
