Research Interests

QBF, DQBF, SAT, Proof Complexity, Complexity Theory, Graph Theory
Anything from theory through solver development to applications goes.

Current and previous positions

Since Nov 2021 I'm a postdoc back here in the AC group, funded by the return phase of my FWF Erwin Schrödinger Fellowship.
Between Nov 2019 and Oct 2021 I was a postdoc in the group of Olaf Beyersdorff at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany, funded by an FWF Erwin Schrödinger Fellowship.
Until October 2019 I was a PhD student funded by the FWF project P27721 and partially by Doctoral College Logical Methods in Computer Science, and I was also a project assistant in the Algorithms and Complexity Group. I started my PhD studies in September 2015 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Stefan Szeider, and I succesfully defended my thesis on October 14th 2019.

Education

2015-2019 PhD in Computer Science (TU Wien, PhD thesis; with a research stay with Holger Hoos at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada)
2013-2015 master's in Mathematics (Comenius University, Bratislava Slovakia, with an Erasmus stay at the University of Primorska, Koper, Slovenia)
2010-2013 bachelor's in Mathematics (Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia)

Software

QBF solver Qute ,which implements QCDCL with dependency learning and the reflexive resolution-path dependency scheme D^rrs.
short.py, a SAT-based tool to compute shortest proofs of minimally unsatisfiable formulas.
The long-distance Q-resolution strategy extractor qrp2rup will be available soon. Please send me an email if you're interested in using it before it's properly published.
