Petra Mutzel

Petra Mutzel is a German computer scientist, a University Professor of computer science at the University of Bonn.[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,[2][3] 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, moving to the Technical University of Dortmund in 2004 and then to the University of Bonn in 2019.[4]

Contributions

In graph drawing, Mutzel has contributed in work on planarization,[5] crossing minimization in layered graph drawing,[6] and SPQR trees,[7] and co-edited a book on graph drawing.[8] She was both the program chair and organizational chair of the 9th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, in Vienna in 2001.[9]

Mutzel's other contributions include works on the Ising model,[10] steganography,[11] and Steiner trees.[12] In 2012, she was program committee co-chair of the Meeting on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments (ALENEX).[13]
