Short Biography

Henning Meyerhenke is an Assistant Professor (Juniorprofessor) at the Institute of Theoretical Informatics at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, since October 2011. From October 2010 to September 2011 Henning was a postdoctoral researcher in Georgia Tech's College of Computing, more precisely in the group headed by Prof. David Bader. Henning received his Diplom degree in Computer Science from Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Germany, in 2004 and his Ph.D. (with highest distinction) in Computer Science from the University of Paderborn, Germany, in 2008. After his graduation he was a Research Scientist at NEC Laboratories Europe in Sankt Augustin, Germany, and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Paderborn until September 2010.

His main research interests are graph partitioning, graph clustering and network analysis as well as load balancing. More general interests include engineering of parallel (graph) algorithms, sequence assembly, and multigrid/multilevel methods. Together with his co-authors, Henning received the Best Algorithms Paper Award at the 22nd IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS'08).
