About Me:
I am a tenure-track assistant professor (Juniorprofessor) of Computer Science (Theory of Algorithms) at the University of Cologne.
I am also an associate professor (on leave) at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Southern Denmark.
My research focus is on online and approximation algorithms, especially for problems involving stochastic uncertainty and scheduling problems.
I have received my Ph.D. from the Faculty of Mathematics of Technische Universität Berlin in June 2016. My advisor was Nicole Megow. Subsequently, I have held positions at Universidad de Chile, Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik, École Normale Supérieure Paris.
