Background
- Research Interests: Mainly studies graph embeddings, with a focus on algorithms for automatic generation of graph embeddings, their time complexity, and theoretical bounds for aesthetic criteria motivated by practical applications. Graph embeddings arise not only in network visualization but also in technical applications such as VLSI layouting or floor planning.
