Bettina Klinz

Bettina Klinz is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz), Austria, since March 2000. She holds a Diplom-Ingenieur (M.Sc.) in Technical Mathematics and a Dr. techn. (Ph.D.) from TU Graz, completed in 1989 and 1993 respectively. She obtained her Habilitation in Applied Mathematics in 1999, focusing on well-solvable classes of hard combinatorial optimization problems.

Her research interests include combinatorial optimization, network flow problems, graph algorithms, and the design of efficient algorithms. She has supervised numerous diploma/master theses and PhD students, covering topics such as hospital layout optimization, nurse scheduling, and second shortest path problems.

Teaching responsibilities include courses like Combinatorial Optimization 1 and 2, and she maintains active course materials. She emphasizes practical skills through problem-solving exercises and exams. Her work is also reflected in her contributions to online resources and academic link lists on mathematical programming and combinatorial optimization.
