Research

Petr Golovach is a research professor at the Department of Informatics, University of Bergen. His main research interests are in the areas of  Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Sciences. His research spans a broad range of topics in graph theory, algorithms on graphs and matroids, clustering algorithms, complexity, parameterized complexity, enumeration algorithms.

Petr Golovach was one of the organizers of Dagstuhl Seminar 18381 “Algorithmic enumeration: output-sensitive, input-sensitive, parameterized, approximative” in 2018. He have been a program commitee member of various international workshops and conferences (STACS 2020, IPEC 2019, WG 2019 and 2016, WEPA 2018, SWAT 2014), and he is selected to be a program commitee chair of IPEC 2021.
