Kitty Meeks

Kitty Meeks is a Reader in the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, having transitioned from the School of Mathematics and Statistics in 2016. Her research focuses on algorithm design, particularly parameterized and counting complexity, with applications in graph theory and precision medicine. She holds an EPSRC Fellowship (2021–2026) and previously a Royal Society of Edinburgh Personal Research Fellowship (2016–2021).

• Education: MMath in Mathematics and Computer Science (Oxford, 2009), DPhil in Mathematics (Oxford, 2013). Postdoctoral research at Queen Mary University of London (2012–2014).
• Research: Explores efficient algorithms for network analysis, including structural properties of real datasets and applications in precision medicine. Current projects address combinatorial optimization for multiple solution spaces.
• Awards: Royal Society of Edinburgh Fellowship, EPSRC Fellowship.
• Grants: EPSRC projects on multilayer algorithmics and precision medicine, plus Scottish Crucible Seed Funding.
• Students: Supervises Peace Ayegba (Student-Project Allocation Problems) and Laura Larios-Jones (Temporal Graph Algorithms).
