Academic Achievements
- Involved in organizing several international conferences, including CPM 2024, ESA 2023, and more. Has given keynote talks at multiple international conferences. Served as an Associate Editor at the now disbanded ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics. Research contributions are significant in the areas of algorithms and data structures, particularly in string processing and bioinformatics.
Research Experience
- Currently a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki. Was a Newton Fellow in the Algorithms and Bioinformatics group at King's College London and held an Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Search Engine Group at RMIT. Currently a visiting fellow at RIKEN AIP in Tokyo.
Education
- PhD from Curtin University, Western Australia, under the supervision of Bill Smyth and Andrew Turpin.
Background
- Currently a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki. Leads the Compressed Data Structures group and is a member of the Algorithmic Bioinformatics and Practical Algorithms and Data Structures on Strings groups. His current research focuses on efficient algorithms and data structures for searching, storing, and manipulating strings, trees, and graphs, and their applications (such as bioinformatics, information retrieval, database systems, and data mining). Previously, he was a Newton Fellow in the Algorithms and Bioinformatics group at King's College London and held an Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Search Engine Group at RMIT.
Miscellany
