معرفی
Patrick Schnider is a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Basel and the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zürich. His academic journey includes postdoctoral positions at ETH Zürich under Prof. Bernd Gärtner and Prof. Emo Welzl, and at the University of Copenhagen with Prof. Karim Adiprasito. He holds a PhD in Theoretical Computer Science from ETH Zürich between 2015 and 2020.
Education: Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Mathematics from ETH Zürich. PhD in Theoretical Computer Science under Prof. Emo Welzl.
Research focuses on combinatorial and topological methods in discrete geometry and high-dimensional data analysis, including topological methods for mass partitions, combinatorial depth measures, geometric transversals, computational geometry, and topological properties of solution spaces.
Recent work explores geometric algorithms, topological data analysis, and combinatorial optimization, with notable contributions to clustering algorithms, persistent homology applications, and fair division problems.
No scientific awards explicitly mentioned. Collaborations include the Theory of Combinatorial Algorithms Group at ETH Zurich and research groups led by Prof. Gärtner and Adiprasito.
Other interests include music, playing clarinet in a wind orchestra, and conducting in various orchestral projects.
