Research and Studies

1992 - 1997   Studies of Mathematics at ETH Zurich:
Topics of special interest were, among others,
  • Operations Research (Discrete and Continuous Optimization, Game Theory, Simulation, Scheduling and Planning),
  • Algorithmics (Computer Algebra, Algorithmic Geometry, Artificial Intelligence),
  • Algebra, Number Theory, Combinatorics.
In particular I wrote a term paper and my diploma thesis at IFOR.
1995 - 1996   Auxiliary Assistance at the Institute for Operations Research (IFOR):
Several smaller research projects, specifically
1997 - 2001   Ph.D. Thesis
supervised by Prof. Dr. H.-J. Lüthi and Prof. Dr. K. Fukuda.
