Ilya Maier

Ph.D. Student in Applied and Computational Mathematics (PACM)
Princeton University

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Princeton, where I am fortunate to be advised by Maria Chudnovsky. Prior to Princeton, I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from ETH Zurich, where I was advised by Rasmus Kyng and Maximilian Probst Gutenberg.

My research interests include structural graph theory and graph algorithms.
