My main interests are in the area of graph theory in general, and in random graph theory and algorithms in particular. I started my research career at the University of Oxford after obtaining a Diplom in Mathematics at the FU Berlin. After my PhD in Mathematics at Oxford, I spent some enjoyable and productive years in Angelika Steger's group, first at the TU Munich (as a winner of the Bavarian Habilitationsfoerderpreis) and then at the ETH Zurich.  I joined Royal Holloway in 2007.
