Synopsis
The research area is computational geometry, with a focus on geometric graphs, spanners, graph augmentation, and routing algorithms, under the supervision of Joachim Gudmundsson and André van Renssen.
The SACT group members include:
- Clément Canonne (sublinear algorithms, computational learning)
- Joachim Gudmundsson (computational geometry)
- Julian Mestre (combinatorial optimization)
- André van Renssen (computational geometry)
- Sasha Rubin (computational logic, automata theory)
- Tony Wirth (clustering)
The SACT group has strong collaborations with the theory group at UNSW, and is actively organising international workshops and conferences (ISAAC 2024, FOCS 2025).
