Biography

I am a tenure-track assistant professor. I am broadly interested in the foundations of data science and social network analysis. Currently I have two main research goals:

• In the foundations of data science, I developpractical data science algorithms with provable guarantees.I am particularly interested in theoretically sound methods for finding and exploiting patterns in data.
• In social network analysis, I study how interventions like Facebook's timeline algorithm influence the polarization and the disagreement in the network.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at KTH in the group of Aris Gionis and before that I received my Ph.D. from University Vienna under the supervision of Monika Henzinger. During that time, I visited Eli Upfal at Brown University for six months. My Ph.D. thesis won the Heinz Zemanek Award from the Austrian Computer Society and an Award of Excellence from the Austrian federal government. I received my Master's from Saarland University and Max Planck Institute for Informatics, where I worked with Pauli Miettinen and Jilles Vreeken.

You can find more detailed information in my CV.

My research is funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP).
