Address: Ashton Building, Ashton Street, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, L69 3BX, United Kingdom
October 2025: Paper accepted at SODA'26. Check my publication list!
September 2025: I am on the program committee of ICALP'26 (Track A). This is the flagship conference of the EATCS. Please consider submitting your best papers.
January 2025: Paper accepted at SoCG'25: Sublinear Data Structure for Nearest Neighbor in Ultra High Dimensions; joint work with Martin G. Herold, Danupon Nanongkai, Nithin Varma, and Zihang Wu
October 2024: Two papers accepted at SODA'25. Check my publication list!
Ongoing (since September 2024): If you're interested in pursuing a PhD under my supervision, please read my publications and reach out if you are enthusiastic about my research area. If our interests align I am happy to help apply for funding, which includes a scholarship and (usally home student) tuition coverage. Both UK and international candidates are eligible, but international students will usually need to cover the difference in tuition fees. See below for my supervision experience (PhD students and postdocs).
Algorithms (Approximation, Parameterized Approximation), Combinatorial Opimization, Geometric Optimization, Data Mining (Clustering), Network Design
