Radu Vintan

Radu Vintan is a Doctoral Assistant and PhD student at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, affiliated with the Institute of Computer Science and the Theory of Computation Laboratory 2 (THL2). He is part of the Doctoral Program in Computer and Communication Sciences (EDIC).

Education:

• Bachelor's and Master's in Computer Science, Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany
• PhD in Computer Science, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland (ongoing)

His primary research interests lie in theoretical computer science, particularly online algorithms and approximation algorithms. He also has experience in machine learning and software engineering. His work often involves algorithmic design and analysis for graph and network problems.

The recent publications reflect a strong focus on online edge coloring and network update algorithms, with contributions to top-tier conferences such as FOCS, STOC, SODA, and INFOCOM. These works explore both theoretical limits and practical algorithmic solutions, often bridging deterministic and randomized approaches.
