László Végh

Hertz Chair in the Transdisciplinary Research Area Modelling
University of Bonn

I am also a member of the Research Institute for Discrete Mathematics, and a visiting professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

I work on mathematical optimization and algorithm design to tackle computational questions arising in a wide range of areas, with a particular focus on problems at the interface of economics and computation. We combine methods from discrete and continuous optimization, computer science, game theory, and economics to develop efficient exact and approximation algorithms, and understand the limits of computability.

Before moving to Bonn in 2024, I was a professor of mathematics at the London School of Economics and Political Science. In 2011-12, I was a postdoctoral fellow with at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I completed my PhD in mathematics at the Eötvös University in Budapest in 2010, in the Egerváry Research Group on Combinatorial Optimization.
