Topics

In general my research interests are in combinatorial optimization (ranging from graph theory to integer programming) and their applications, with an emphasis on optimization problems from telecommunication industry. More precisely, the three main areas of research are

frequency assignment problems in wireless communication networks,
telecommunication network design problems, ranging from local access via ATM backbone to optical networks, and
treewidth of graphs (a more theoretical subjected, but initially motivated by frequency assignment).

Project pages

At ZIB, all projects within the optimization department have their own webpage. Here is a list of the ones I am/was involved.

Frequency Assignment in Cellular Phone Networks
MOMENTUM - Models and Simulations for Network Planning and Control of UMTS
Optimization of optical networks
Optimization of the static configuration of optical transport networks
Load Balancing in Signaling Transfer Points
TACO - Treewidth And Combinatorial Optimization

Co-authors

Research is not a job, you do alone (at least not for me). And many of my co-authors have their own webpage where you can find more papers on similar topics.
