Research Interests

My primary research interests concern theoretical aspects of Computer Science, focusing on algorithms and their complexity, mostly connected to Information Visualization and Graph Drawing. Visualization of relational data has many applications in diverse fields ranging from computer science over engineering and economics to every-day-applications such as metro-maps. Thus by designing and developing visualization techniques it is possible to facilitate information understanding for a broad variety of users.
