Nicole Megow

Nicole Megow is a German discrete mathematician and theoretical computer scientist whose research topics include combinatorial optimization, approximation algorithms, and online algorithms for scheduling. She is a professor in the faculty of mathematics and computer science at the University of Bremen.

Education and career

Megow earned a diploma in mathematical economics from the Technical University of Berlin in 2002, and completed a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) from the same university in 2006.[1] Her dissertation, Coping with Incomplete Information in Scheduling, was supervised by Rolf H. Mohring.[2]

After working as a researcher and visiting professor at the Technical University of Berlin, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, and the Technische Universität Darmstadt, she became an assistant professor at the Technical University of Munich in 2015, and took her present position as professor at the University of Bremen in 2016.[1]

Recognition

Megow was one of the 2013 winners of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Preis.[3]

gollark: There are probably practical problems like plumbing and temperature as well.
gollark: They vary too much by locale anyway, so I don't think I could answer for you without extra research.
gollark: I didn't check because it didn't seem particularly worth learning about boring things like zoning laws.
gollark: I did wonder about this. It seems like the ideal, optimal, entirely flawless way to live would be to attain a giant warehouse of some kind and stick computers and a bed in one corner.
gollark: Some online friends did vaguely express interest in running our IRC network over ham radio instead of boring IP networks. That might be neat.
