Algorithms and Complexity

Rossella Petreschi is Professor in the Dipartimento di Informatica, Università di Roma 'La Sapienza', where she was a founding faculty member and the director from 2003-009. She cofounded the International Conference on Algorithms and Complexity (CIAC), and she coauthored many formal academic journal and conference publications. Her research interests include algorithm design and analysis, parallel and distributed computing, efficient solutions of graph problems, labelled tree encodings, and frequency assignments in wireless networks. She has also researched and published on graph drawing, interconnection topologies and experimental algorithmics. Many of her former students occupy key positions in industry and research.
