PhD student at Durham University.

About

I am a PhD student in the ACiD (Algorithms and Complexity in Durham) group supervised by Dr Barnaby Martin and Professor Daniël Paulusma.

My primary research interest lies in graph theory, particularly from a structural and algorithmic perspective, considering the impact of structural restrictions on the computational complexity of graph problems.

I will soon be finishing my PhD. If you are looking for a Post Doc and my work seems interesting to you, get in touch!
