I'm a 3rd - year PhD student at IDSIA, USI-SUPSI, in the beautiful town of Lugano, Switzerland.
I'm a member of the Optimization & Complexity research group, spearheaded by Prof. Monaldo Mastrolilli and Prof. Luca Gambardella.
My research focuses on combinatorial optimization and polyhedral theory. In particular, we're investigating the integrality gap of optimization problems such as machine scheduling and TSP.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. I'm open to collaborations, and would be happy to help with reviewing papers!

I've completed my Bachelor's in Mathematics (2018 - 2021) and Master's in Applied Mathematics (2021 - 2023) at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary.
During the last year of my undergrad studies (2022 - 2023), I completed a 1-year internship at Morgan Stanley as a Model Risk Management Intern.
Since 2023, I'm a PhD researcher at the Faculty of Informatics of Università della Svizzera italiana, Lugano, Switzerland.
Apart from my research, I also perform teaching assistant duties. In the past and current semesters, I've been the TA for the courses Algorithms & Complexity, and Algorithms and Data Structures.
