Bibliography

I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Twente (2001-2004) where I obtained my PhD degree in 2001 and Master's degree in 1997. I moved to Durham in 2004, where I had positions as Lecturer (2004-2011), Senior Lecturer (2011-2013) and Reader (2013-2015) before becoming Professor in 2015. I was Director of Research for the School of Engineering and Computing Sciences (2014-2017).

Publications

My main interests lie in graph theory and algorithms, computational complexity and cooperative game theory. A list of my papers can be found here.
