Petra Mutzel

Petra Mutzel is a German computer scientist, a University Professor of computer science at the Technical University of Dortmund.[1] Her research is in the areas of algorithm engineering, graph drawing and combinatorial optimization.

Education and career

Mutzel earned a diploma in 1990 from the University of Augsburg, in mathematics with computer science. She then earned a doctorate in computer science from the University of Cologne in 1994 under the supervision of Michael Jünger,[1][2] and her habilitation in 1999 from the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. She held a professorship at the Vienna University of Technology beginning in 1999 before moving to Dortmund in 2004.[1]

Contributions

In graph drawing, Mutzel has contributed in work on planarization,[3] crossing minimization in layered graph drawing,[4] and SPQR trees,[5] and co-edited a book on graph drawing.[6] She was both the program chair and organizational chair of the 9th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, in Vienna in 2001.[7]

Mutzel's other contributions include works on the Ising model,[8] steganography,[9] and Steiner trees.[10] In 2012, she was program committee co-chair of the Meeting on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments (ALENEX).[11]
