Robert Ganian is an assistant professor ("Privatdozent") at the Vienna University of Technology, Austria, and a member of the Algorithms and Complexity Group. His main research interests are centered around the parameterized algorithms and complexity paradigm, with a special focus on the applications of this paradigm in artificial intelligence research.
He received his Ph.D. in 2012, has published over 100 articles in scientific journals and conference proceedings, and has an Erdős Number of 2.
