BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE:

Dömötör Pálvölgyi obtained his PhD degree in mathematics from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in 2010, after which he worked in various positions at the Mathematical Institute of the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE Budapest). He was also a visiting professor at IIT Delhi (2012 spring) and a research fellow at the University of Cambridge (2015-2017). He won the Grünwald Géza medal of the János Bolyai Mathematical Society (2011), the János Bolyai Scholarship of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2012), the Postdoctoral Fellowship of the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund (2012), the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship (IF-EF) of the European Commission (2015) and the Momentum (Lendület) grant of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2017).

DETAILS OF RESEARCH:

Dömötör Pálvölgyi mainly works in Combinatorial Geometry, Combinatorics and Theoretical Computer Science. His main focus of research has been in decompositions of multiple coverings and in colorings of geometric hypergraphs. These problems have several applications, related to frequency assignments, sensor covers and similar questions involving partitionings of geometric networks.
