معرفی
Marina Knittel is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Reed College in the Division of Mathematical and Natural Sciences, starting Spring 2025. She currently serves as a postdoctoral researcher at UC San Diego working with Profs. Barna Saha and Sanjoy Dasgupta on graph algorithms. She holds a PhD from the University of Maryland (2023) and a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science from Harvey Mudd College.
Her research focuses on graph algorithm theory with applications spanning fairness in machine learning, mechanism design, and massively parallel computation. She explores interdisciplinary connections between computer science, economics, and biology, particularly how computational problems increasingly require cross-domain expertise.
Knittel's publication portfolio demonstrates consistent focus on scalable algorithms for massive datasets, with recent work emphasizing fairness in clustering and hierarchical methods. Her articles frequently appear in top theoretical computer science venues and show sophisticated mathematical approaches to practical computational problems.
