Arturo Merino
I am an assistant professor at the Engineering Institute of Universidad de O’Higgins. Before that, I was a postdoc in Karl Bringmann’s group at Saarland University. I did my PhD at TU Berlin, where I was advised by Torsten Mütze and took part of the Combinatorial Optimization and Graph Algorithms group. I also did a masters degree on applied math at Universidad de Chile under the guidance of José Soto.
Research Interests: I am interested in algorithmic design and, broadly speaking, in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics. Lately, I’ve been focused on the design of generation/enumeration algorithms; that is, algorithms which ouput all solutions to a computational problem, instead of only one. More specifically, I’ve been interested in generation algorithms that perform local operations (aka combinatorial Gray codes) and their interplay with combinatorics, discrete geometry, symmetry, and algebra.
