Research
I devoted my PhD studies to determining how hyperbolic random graphs can be utilized as a framework for average-case analysis. That is, we looked at graph algorithms that performed significantly better on real-world networks than one would expect when considering their worst-case running times, and used hyperbolic random graphs to model these networks in order to explain the observed phenomena theoretically.
My research interests lie on random graph models that can be used to represent real-world networks and analyzing algorithms on them. In particular, I'm interested in investigating networks with underlying geometry and their connections to real-world graphs, for example in the context of embedding algorithms.
