Sarah Morell

Sarah Morell is a Researcher at the University of Bremen, where she began her postdoctoral position in April 2025 under the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Nicole Megow. Previously, she completed her PhD at TU Berlin under Prof. Dr. Martin Skutella, focusing on Combinatorial Optimization. Her research emphasizes network flow problems, approximation algorithms, and diversity maximization in algorithms.

She holds an M.Sc. in Mathematics from EPFL, Switzerland, with a minor in Theoretical Computer Science. Her master’s thesis, advised by Prof. Dr. Friedrich Eisenbrand, explored algorithms for diversity maximization.

Key research contributions include work on the Submodular Santa Claus Problem (SODA 2025), unsplittable flows with arc constraints (Math. Program. 2022), and minimum-cost integer circulations in homology classes (SODA 2021). She has actively participated in workshops and summer schools on combinatorial optimization, theoretical computer science, and discrete mathematics.

Professional activities include research stays at Maastricht University (2023) and TU Munich (2020), as well as presentations at institutions like MPI Saarbrücken and the University of Bremen. Her interdisciplinary work bridges discrete algorithms, optimization, and applications in fair resource allocation.
