My name is Mads Anker Nielsen. I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Cologne. My advisor is Kevin Schewior.
I received my master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Southern Denmark in 2025.
I am interested in various areas of theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics. In particular, I enjoy problems on (di)graphs and optimization problems involving uncertainty.
