Publications
On this webpage you find my research papers, survey papers, PhD thesis, Master's thesis, and miscellaneous other stuff. Everything should be sorted (at least roughly) in reverse chronological order. As a general rule, any published papers are copyright by their respective publishers but are free for personal use.
For many of my research publications, you can can find slides for presentations I have given (and sometimes video recordings) at my presentations webpage.
If you have any questions about any of my papers, then please feel free to drop me a line.
