Tim A. J. Taubner

Current

I'm a doctoral student of Computer Science at ETH Zürich in the Theory of Combinatorial Algorithms Group under the supervision of Emo Welzl since 2019.

Education

I obtained my

• Master of Science (ETH) in Robotics, Systems, and Control from ETH Zürich in 2019 and my
• Bachelor of Science (ETH) in Computer Science from ETH Zürich in 2016.

Interests

My main interest lies in computing and everything it involves. More specifically, I'm interested in

• Combinatorics,
• Approximation Algorithms,
• Computational Geometry,
• (Algorithmic) Game Theory and
• Robotics.
