My area of expertise is complexity theory. Currently, I focus on the parameterised complexity of problems in non-classical logics with applications to AI. Furthermore, I study enumeration algorithms. I also enjoy typography and the text typesetting system LaTeX.

Interests

  • (Parameterised) Complexity Theory
  • Logic in Computer Science (particularly, non-classical logics)
  • Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
  • (Parameterised) Enumeration Algorithms
  • LaTeX (see my personal GitHub-Webside for a timeline LaTeX/TikZ package.
