Richard Mandel

Richard Mandel is a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) in Kaiserslautern, Germany. He holds a PhD from Stevens Institute of Technology (2021), where he was supervised by Alexander Ushakov. Previously, he was a postdoc in the GTA Research Group at the University of the Basque Country.

His research focuses on advanced topics in group theory, including geometric, algorithmic, and computational aspects. Key areas include decidability and complexity of equations over groups, model theory applications, and cryptographic systems based on group theory. He explores intersections between formal language theory and group structures.

Currently located in Room 611 of Building G26 at the Kaiserslautern campus, Mandel collaborates with researchers like Georg Zetzsche. His work bridges theoretical computer science with mathematical foundations, emphasizing practical algorithmic solutions.
