Šimon Schierreich

Profile

I am a PhD student at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science, Faculty of Information Technology, Czech Technical University in Prague. I am a proud member of the G²OAT research group and my supervisor is Dušan Knop. My research focuses on algorithmic game theory and computational social choice. In particular, I am interested in multivariate analysis and structural restrictions of NP-hard problems related to these fields.
