About me

I became a ph.d. student in September 2011. My supervisors are Inge Li Gørtz and Philip Bille. My current research is centered around the design of algorithms and data structures for combinatorial pattern matching problems. I am particularly interested in algorithms for generalizations and variations of exact string matching and indexing. Other interests include graph theory, computational geometry and mazes.

Besides algorithms, I enjoy travelling and playing sports. When time and weather allow, I love to go spearfishing (watch me catch some flounder).
