Historical Remarks: Before I came to Eindhoven I was a postdoc in the Combinatorics, Geometry and Computation European Graduate Program at ETH Zurich. In Zurich I was a member of the Theory of Combinatorial Algorithms group headed by Emo Welzl. I received my Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, where I was supervised by David Kirkpatrick and Jack Snoeyink.
