Christian Janos Lebeda

I am a postdoc in the Algorithms Group at the IT University of Copenhagen. I am also affiliated with the Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen center and the Providentia Project. During my PhD I was advised by Rasmus Pagh and Martin Aumüller. My main research interest is the design and analysis of differentially private algorithms and data structures.
