Arturo Merino

I am an Assistant Professor in the CS department at the University of Chile. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of O’Higgins and a postdoc in Karl Bringmann’s group at Saarland University. I received my PhD from TU Berlin, where I was advised by Torsten Mütze as part of the Combinatorial Optimization and Graph Algorithms group.

Research Interests:
Broadly, my research lies in the theoretical foundations of computer science and discrete mathematics, with a focus on algorithm design and analysis. While my primary 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 particularly interested in unifying paradigms, often through the lens of discrete geometry.
