Developing heuristic solution techniques for large-scale unit commitment models 2025
with Nils-Christian Kempke, Bassel Katamish, Charlie Vanaret, Shima Sasanpour, Jan-Patrick Clarner, Thorsten Koch
Publication, Zuse Institute Berlin, Integer Programming
Shifting towards renewable energy sources and reducing carbon emissions necessitate sophisticated energy system planning, optimization, and extension. This article considers a set of large-scale decarbonization-focused unit commitment models with expansion decisions and investigates a series of heuristics as a standalone solution method.

Solving the n-Queens Problem in Higher Dimension 2024
Publication, Zuse Institute Berlin, Integer Programming, Graph Theory, Chess
We present an integer programming formulation of the n-queens problem in higher dimensions and several strengthenings through additional valid inequalities. Compared to recent benchmarks, we achieve a speedup in computational time between 15-70x over all instances of the integer programs.

The n-Queens Problem in Higher Dimensions
2023
Thesis, Integer Programming, Graph Theory, Chess, Technical University Berlin
How many mutually non-attacking queens can be placed on a d-dimensional chessboard of size n?
A comprehensive overview on theoretical results, bounds, solution methods and the interconnectivity of the problem within topics of discrete optimization and combinatorics.

Dissonance Within 2023

Show, Cultural History and Theory
Participatory exhibition at Zwitschermaschine Berlin.
Dall-ix 2023
with Erik Anton Reinhardt
Game, Cultural History and Theory
Historically, intelligence is perceived as human through play. Recently, responses that are not verifiable have led to the perception of intelligence increasingly shifting towards plausibility instead.
We demonstrate that cultural affirmation is desired, or even necessary, for human plausibility and, thus, the perception of intelligence.

Computing bounds for ranks and qualification of the DPC
2023
Blog, Integer Programming, DotA, Zuse Institute Berlin
The Elimination Problem in sports asks whether a team can still achieve a particular result given the current standings of the league and its structure.
In DotA, the major goal of many teams during a season is to qualify for The International (TI), as its prize money and prestige are unmatched. This motivates the question to find individual provable bounds for qualification to TI — in other words: How many points does a certain team need to be qualified for TI at a given point in time?
