Martin Costa successfully defends his PhD thesis
Many congratulations to Martin Costa for passing his PhD viva, with Prof Long Tran-Thanh (Warwick) and Dr Christian Konrad (Bristol) as examiners. Martin has worked on two different fundamental topics in algorithms - clustering and edge coloring. His work on clustering led to a Google PhD fellowship, and his work on edge coloring (the topic of his thesis) led to a best paper award at STOC. During his PhD spanning 3 years, Martin published 7 papers in STOC/FOCS/SODA, 2 papers in ICML/NeurIPS, and 1 paper in ICALP. We wish him all the very best for the next stage of his career.
