Isi & Nacho
My girlfriend and my dog.
I work as a Postdoc at Kiel University (CAU) in the north of Germany. Previously, I was also working at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) before I received my Ph.D. in computer science from Kiel University. My Ph.D. advisor was Klaus Jansen.
In the following you can find a few impressions about me.
Violin
I started to play the violin when I was five years old. Computer scientists simply cannot resist strings.
Running
In 2013 and 2024 I have run a half marathon at the Kiel.Lauf and I am up to run my first full marathon next year. I enjoy long runs as very rewarding challenges.
Fishing
The best time to go fishing is when you can get away.
-- John D. Voelker
Dancing
I love dancing. I am a former DTV tournament dancer and active ballroom and latin dance teacher at UniTanzKiel.
Chess
What a game. I am addicted.
Bouldering
Solving a boulder problem is a lot like finding a proof to a claim.Best-Prof-Award 2024
I am grateful to have received the Best-Prof-Award 2024 (3rd place) from the student council of computer science at Kiel University.
Research
My main concern is the design of efficient algorithms and I have a broad interest in computational problems from or related to combinatorial optimization. In particular, I am interested in integer programming, approximation algorithms, scheduling problems and especially real-time scheduling.
Publications
You can also find a list of my publications on DBLP.
