News

Wednesday December 13 I presented our latest scheduling result at the global Scheduling Seminar! I talked about a subexponential time algorithm for a scheduling problem with precedence constraints. You can watch the talk at either the Scheduling Seminar website or on Youtube.

From Januari 2024 I will no longer work at TU/e and I will no longer be reachable at my academic email address. In need you can contact me either via my gmail (cmf + lastname at gmail) or LinkedIn.  

Receiving my PhD
December 2nd 2023 I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation Fine-Grained Parameterized Complexity of Scheduling and Sequencing Problems! I still have plenty of copies of my dissertation, so if you're interested let me know and I'll send you one.

Academic Background

Céline Swennenhuis was a postdoctoral researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology, under the supervision of Bart Jansen. She successfully defended her PhD thesis called Fine-Grained Parameterized Complexity of Scheduling and Sequencing Problems at December 2nd 2022. She was supervised by  Jesper Nederlof (daily supervisor, co-promotor) and  Frits Spieksma (promotor). She visited the group of Fedor Fomin at Bergen University from April 2022 to July 2022. She received her MSc. in Applied Mathematics cum laude (with a specialization in optimization) from Delft University of Technology in 2018.
