Petruschka

Asaf Petruschka is a PhD candidate in the field of theoretical computer science, researching efficient network algorithms and structures—especially those that cope with failure events in a network. Failures commonly occur in many vast networks that prevail in modern technology, such as communication systems, energy grids, road networks in navigation apps, or social media platforms. Asaf’s work uses mathematical tools to effectively model and cope with such phenomena.
