Work & education

• I am the chair of Combinatorial Optimization (CO) at the TU Eindhoven.

• All my academic degrees are from the TU Graz (Austria): my diploma degree; my Ph.D. degree; and the "venia legendi" (Habilitation degree) for Discrete Mathematics and for Theoretical Computer Science.
  I have worked at the Free University Berlin, TU Graz, University of Twente, TU Eindhoven, and TU Berlin. Since April 2004, I am working in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the TU Eindhoven, in the Combinatorial Optimization group.

• Here are some of my papers.
• My "P-versus-NP" page
