Irene Simó Muñoz

I am currently working in PDE-constrained optimization under uncertainty under Prof. Peng Chen’s supervision and in a randomized version of an All-Pair Shortest Path algorithm under Prof. Richard Vuduc at Georgia Tech.

My research interests include graph theory and optimization. In particular, I am interested in how different problems own nature intertwines with classic algorithmic approaches. I have been working on gossip spread in Hyperbolic Random Graphs, gerrymandering or political districting and randomized triangle counting in large graphs and networks.

My studies include a Ms in Computer Science for which I am currently finishing the thesis. I am a graduate in Aerospace Engineering (2022), and a Bs in Economics that I am completing part time.

My working experience began as an intern at Hewlett-Packard. I since have gravitated towards more academic-inclined positions, collaborating with the Barcelona Supercomutng Center (BSC-CSN) for my bachelor thesis, and interning at the International Centre of Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) among other collaborations with professors. Since January 2024, I am working full-time as a visiting researcher at Georgia Tech.
