Research Interests: My main research interest is in the broad field of Discrete Mathematics/Combinatorics; I am particularly interested in Graph Theory.
The work in my Ph.D. thesis was mainly focused on path and cycle problems in (di)graphs, but also touched on other topics, such as graph colouring and toughness.
Recently, my work (jointly with Dr. Ortrud Oellermann and Dr. Vaclav Linek) has focused on convexity and traceability problems in graphs and oriented graphs as well as on arc-colourings of digraphs.
