Biography
Omer Wasim is a doctoral student at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, advised by Rajmohan Rajamaran. His doctoral research, which he began in 2020 and expects to complete in 2024, focuses on algorithms and theory.
Wasem is broadly interested in theoretical computer science, with an emphasis on the design and analysis of efficient graph algorithms in dynamic, distributed, online, and sublinear settings. He is affiliated with the Algorithms and Theory group and, along with former advisor Valerie King, published a paper on algorithms for MAX-CUT at FSTTCS 2020.
