Leroy Chew and Alexis de Colnet just joined the Algorithms and Complexity group as PIs of their own FWF ESPRIT Projects:
Congratulations to Leroy and Alexis for winning these competitively awarded project grants!
Alexander Dobler received the Best Student Paper Award at the 13th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams (DIAGRAMS 2022) in Rome in September 2022 for his paper “On Computing Optimal Linear Diagrams“, co-authored with his PhD advisor Martin Nöllenburg.
Effective as of today, Robert Ganian is promoted to a tenured Associate Professor at the Algorithms and Complexity group. Congratulations, Robert!
Jonas Mayerhofer, Markus Kirchweger, Marc Huber, and Günther Raidl received the best paper award for their work A Beam Search for the Shortest Common Supersequence Problem Guided by an Approximate Expected Length Calculation at the 22nd European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization being held in Madrid, Spain, in April 2022.
Guangping Li successfully defended her PhD thesis “An Algorithmic Study of Practical Map Labeling” on May 13, 2022. Congratulations, Dr. Li!
Guangping was a PhD student in the FWF project “Human-centered Algorithm Engineering” and was supervised by Martin Nöllenburg. Her external thesis reviewers were Kevin Buchin and Christian Schulz. Guangping has already started a postdoc position at TU Dortmund, Germany.
