Research Interests
Peter Sanders' research is focused on algorithm theory and algorithm engineering, i.e. the design, the implementation and the analysis of efficient algorithms. In this case, analysis can be both, theoretical and experimental.
Some important research topics are:
- Parallel processing and communication in networks
- Solving problems with "irregular" structure
- Randomized Algorithms
- Memory hierarchies (disks, caches)
- Realistic models for problems and machines
- Routing in large networks
