I am an associate professor at the algorithms group of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Odense.
From 2022 to 2024, I was an assistant professor in Maastricht University (Netherlands). Between 2019 and 2021, I was a postdoc researcher in Ola Svensson’s group at EPFL, Lausanne (Switzerland). Before that I have received my Ph.D. in computer science at CAU, Kiel (Germany) where I was adviced by Klaus Jansen. I am alumni of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes (German Academic Scholarship Foundation). I will serve or have served in the program committees of STACS’25, MAPSP’24, ICALP’24, APPROX’23, SODA’23, and WAOA’20. I am grateful to the NWO for funding my Open Competition M1 project ``Twilight Zone of Efficiency: Optimality of Quasi-Polynomial Time Algorithms”.
Supervision
In my personal life, I’m married and I have two dogs and a cat. Some of my hobbies can be seen in the gallery below.
You can find my CV here.I enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes
Started my own sourdough (Friedel) during lockdown and still going strong!
What I learned from the French (instead of the language).
I am very grateful for receiving the award for the PhD of the year by the 'Förderverein der TF' of Kiel University
My wife Faiza and I have married in fall 2019.
I'm a big fan of winter sports, in particular, of snowboarding.
One of my hobbies is to brew my own beer.
Doing dog things on Gornergrat.
