Abstract:

research and mathematics. My work concerns the design and analysis of algorithms, and is largely motivated by the wish to nd a way to deal with NP-complete problems. After a PhD on the average-case analysis of dynamic data structures, and some work on computational geometry, I got interested in tiling problems. Then my interest shifted to approximation algorithms, on which I have been working for about ve years, and which provide a way to circumvent the NP-hardness of optimization problems by resigning oneself to nding an approximate solution. I am also interested in the probabilistic analysis of algorithms, particularly using Markov chains: resigning oneself to nding an algorithm which is ecient on average, instead of in the worst case, is another way to circumvent NP-hardness.
