Pieter Audenaert received the M.Sc. in pure mathematics (Summa Cum Laude), and the Ph.D. degree with a focus on theoretical aspects of computer science from Ghent University, in 2000 and 2004, respectively. He was a laureate at the Flemish Mathematics Competition and received the Knuth Reward Check (Stanford University). Currently, he is affiliated with Ghent University/iMinds and works in the field of networks in its broadest sense: from communication networks and logistic networks, to protein-interactions and social networks. To this aim, he specializes in graphs and algorithms with a focus on applying theoretical results in the field of computer science. This entails data-modeling, computational analysis and statistical forecasting.

His daily responsibilities include the supervision of PhD students and the coordination of research projects with both academic and industrial partners. He gives direction to a group of young & enthusiastic researchers in data-structures and algorithms and likes to develop large software architectures together with them. Next to that, he lectures on graph-theory and graph-algorithms (master level and doctoral level).
