About

Hi, I’m Mahya Jamshidian, a Ph.D. candidate in Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Alberta with a strong background in combinatorial optimization, algorithm design, and complexity theory. I enjoy tackling challenging theoretical questions while also applying insights to real-world problems.

I have broad experience as a researcher, educator, and developer, with a track record in clustering, approximation algorithms, and data-driven projects. I value collaboration and clear communication, and I’m excited to continue advancing both theory and practice in computer science.
