William Pettersson

Dr. William Pettersson is a Researcher at the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, focusing on optimization and algorithmic research. He leads projects like the EPSRC-funded IP-MATCH initiative, addressing resource allocation challenges such as kidney exchange and student-doctor hospital placement systems. His work bridges theoretical contributions (e.g., integer programming, graph decomposition) and practical software development, including the Regina topology tool and kep_solver for kidney exchange analysis. Prior to Glasgow, he specialized in parallel algorithms and combinatorial topology in Australia.

• Key Projects: IP-MATCH (EPSRC), Regina software, kidney exchange optimization
• Research Themes: Combinatorial optimization, parameterized complexity, high performance computing

Publications span graph theory, operations research, and algorithm design, with notable contributions to kidney exchange program modeling and spatial correlation analysis. Active collaboration with Prof. David Manlove and international teams in healthcare and computational topology.
