Arturo Merino
I am an assistant professor at the Engineering Institute of Universidad de O’Higgins. Before that, I was a postdoc in Karl Bringmann’s group at Saarland University. I did my PhD at TU Berlin, where I was advised by Torsten Mütze and took part of the Combinatorial Optimization and Graph Algorithms group. I also did a masters degree on applied math at Universidad de Chile under the guidance of José Soto.
Research Interests:
Broadly, my interests lie in the theoretical foundations of computer science and discrete mathematics, with a focus on the design and analysis of algorithms. While most of my work centers on enumeration and generation, I am also drawn to problems in approximation, algorithmic game theory, combinatorics, fine-grained algorithms, and computation under uncertainty. I am especially interested in unifying paradigms, often through the lens of discrete geometry.
