I am a postdoc in the group of Rico Zenklusen at the Institute for Operations Research at ETH Zürich. I did my PhD in the same group and graduated in July 2023.
My main research interest is designing approximation algorithms for various Combinatorial Optimization problems, in particular fair clustering problems. You can find my publications here.
I also enjoy applying techniques from optimization and operations research to real-world problems: I have built and deployed bespoke software solutions for solving real-world optimization problems of various industry parners, including Helvetic Motion, the Federal Office of Public Health Switzerland, and the Academic Services of ETH Zurich.
In 2022, I spent nine months at Huawei's Zurich Research Center in the Computing Systems Lab, researching possibilities and limits of parallel programming models.
Before starting my PhD, I was the Head Tutor at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cape Town, South Africa, for two years. I continue to be involved with academic outreach and partnership efforts in Africa including this networking event I co-organized and this teaching endeavour in Ghana.
Before that, I graduated with an MMath and BA from the University of Cambridge in 2016.
Before that, I competed in mathematics competitions and got a Bronze Medal at the IMO 2011 and a Second Prize at the IMC 2012. I have also contributed a number of original problems that have appeared in competitions.
