Biography

Sven Polak works as a postdoc with Monique Laurent in the Networks and Optimization (N&O)-group. He obtained his PhD in Mathematics at the University of Amsterdam in 2019, under supervision of prof. Lex Schrijver. After his PhD, he worked as an operations research engineer at ORTEC until August 2020. His master degree he obtained (cum laude) at the University of Amsterdam, after writing a master thesis at CWI under supervision of Guido Schäfer.
