Goran Zuzic honoured with 2021 Dissertation Award
Postdoc Goran Zuzic from the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science received the 2021 Principles of Distributed Computing Doctoral Dissertation Award. Congratulations!
Goran Zuzic joined the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science last September as a postdoc hosted by Professor Mohsen Ghaffari. Previously, Goran obtained his doctoral degree at the Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Bernhard Haeupler in August 2020. For his dissertation “Towards Universal Optimality in Distributed Optimization“, Goran was given the 2021 Principles of Distributed Computing Doctoral Dissertation Award. The dissertation concerns graph theoretic problems that are non-local, in the sense that they require several steps at least proportional to the diameter of the network. Read more external pagehere.
