Dr. rer. nat. Lutz Oettershagen

I am an lecturer (assistant professor in US terms) at Liverpool University, Liverpool, UK.

My primary research areas are algorithmic data analysis, graph data mining, and machine learning for graphs. I put a strong focus on mathematical and computational foundations as well as the engineering and application of efficient algorithmic data analysis on (dynamic) graphs for solving real-world problems. My work focuses on the computational analysis of static and temporal networks. In my research, I design and analyze methods for obtaining new knowledge from complex networks.

Until the end of June 2024, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, working with Prof. Dr. Aristides Gionis. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Lamarr Institut and the University of Bonn in Bonn, Germany, working with Prof. Dr. Petra Mutzel.
