Computer Science and Engineering

I am a Professor in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at UNSW.

I joined UNSW in 2012, first as an ARC DECRA Fellow and then as a Future Fellow. I obtained a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Bergen (Norway) under the supervision of Fedor V. Fomin in 2008. From 2009-2012, I held postdoctoral positions in Montpellier (France), Santiago (Chile), and Vienna (Austria).

My research focuses on algorithms for solving NP-hard problems, especially graph and reasoning problems, with applications in Boolean satisfiability, computational social choice, constraint satisfaction, and resource allocation.

Keywords: exponential time algorithms; parameterized complexity; quantum algorithms, kernelization; extremal combinatorics; graph algorithms; computational social choice; resource allocation; satisfiability; constraint satisfaction

My Teaching

I designed and teach COMP6741 - Algorithms for intractable problems.
