Bio

I completed my PhD at ETH Zurich in July 2023. My doctoral research revolved around designing approximation algorithms for various Combinatorial Optimization problems, in particular for fair clustering. You can find my publications here.

In 2022, I spent nine months at Huawei's Zurich Research Center in the Computing Systems Lab, researching possibilities and limits of optimal parallelization.

Before starting my PhD, I was the Head Tutor at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Cape Town, South Africa, for two wonderful years.

Before that, I graduated with an MMath and BA from the University of Cambridge (Trinity Hall) in 2016 under the wise guidance of Tadashi Tokieda and Tom Körner.

Before that, I competed in mathematics competitions and got a Bronze Medal at the IMO 2011 and a Silver Medal at the IMC 2012. I have also contributed a number of original problems that have appeared in competitions, including this one.

Before that, I was born and raised in Innsbruck, Austria.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, linguistics, and puzzles (sometimes even cooking up linguistic puzzles), and I used to play Ultimate.
