Páll Melsted

I am a Professor in the Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science in the School of Engineering and Natural Sciences at University of Iceland.

Before joining I was a Postdoctoral Scholar advised by Jonathan Pritchard in the Pritchard lab in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Chicago. I obtained my Ph.D. in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization in 2009 from the Department of Mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Alan Frieze.
