Research Interests

Multicriteria Optimisation multicriteria optimisation

I am the main developer of PolySCIP, a solver for multi-criteria linear and multi-criteria integer programs. PolySCIP is part of the SCIP Optimisation Suite. For more information, please visit polyscip.zib.de.
In order to visualise the objective space of bi-criteria and tri-criteria integer programs I have developed PolyNondom.
Andreas Löhne and I maintain MOPLIB, a multi-objective problem library which aims at offering problem instances for available multi-objective solvers.

Vertex Enumeration vertex enumeration

Vertex enumeration plays an important part in the solving process of PolySCIP. In particular, PolySCIP uses an implementation of the double description method for the initialisation phase of the weight space polytope.
Currently, I also maintain the PORTA webpage.

Multiple Sequence Alignment sequence alignment

There is a nice paper on a branch-and-cut algorithm for multiple sequence alignment. During a research stay at the University of Coimbra I implemented the separation algorithms for the valid inequalities given in this paper. Luís Paquete and I used the described algorithmic approach to compute non-dominated outcomes for bi-criteria multiple sequence alignment problems. The source code is freely available . There is also a short technical report. The implementation was done in C++-98 and uses the LEMON graph library. The source code is, unfortunately, not well documented. However, if you have understood how the separation algorithms work from the mathematical point of view, then you should be able to understand the implementation and be able to reuse the code. I am happy if you do so.
