SHORT BIOGRAPHY (3rd Person)

Danupon Nanongkai is a Scientific Director at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany. He received a Ph.D. in Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization (ACO) from Georgia Tech in 2011 and a docent (aka habilitation) in Computer Science from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, in 2017.

His research focuses on graph algorithms and computational complexity, with particular interest in developing algorithmic techniques that are effective across a range of computational models. He has contributed to efficient algorithms for fundamental graph problems, such as connectivity and distances, in settings ranging from sequential to distributed and dynamic algorithms.
