Highlights and Talks

Prize for best thesis in Computer Science to Adil Chhabra

Adil Chhabra, a PhD candidate and current member of the Algorithm Engineering Group, has been awarded the prestigious FTI Prize for his outstanding master’s thesis, titled "Buffered Streaming Algorithms for Solving the Edge Partitioning Problem". In this work, Adil addressed the complex challenge of edge partitioning in large graphs. He developed a novel algorithm, HeiStreamEdge, which operates in the buffered streaming model, significantly reducing memory usage and computational time while enhancing the quality of partitions. His thesis introduced an innovative graph transformation technique that enables efficient edge partitioning in the streaming context. We congratulate Adil on this remarkable achievement! more ...
