Ahad N. Zehmakan

Lecturer

Biography

I am a (tenure-track) Lecturer (US/Europe-equivalent: Assistant Professor) of Computer Science at the Australian National University (ANU) since July 2022. I received my PhD degree in 2020 from ETH Zurich, where I was fortunate to work in the Theory of Combinatorial Algorithms Group under the supervision of Bernd Gärtner. Afterwards, I spent one more year at ETH as a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science. Finally before joining ANU, I had the opportunity to contribute to the SCION secure Internet architecture by working with the ETH spin-off, Anapaya Systems, and collaborating with the Network Security Group at ETH.
