Data Structures and Efficient Algorithms
Chair: Prof. Dr. Matthias Müller-Hannemann
Our group works in the field of algorithm engineering: For complex problems from different application areas, we try to develop and improve efficient algorithms, to implement them carefully on modern hardware, and to evaluate them by experiments.
The main focus is on graph algorithms and combinatorial optimization, applications come from the areas of network analysis, optimization problems in public transport (timetable information, delay management, passenger flows) as well as from bio- and cheminformatics.
