Bartłomiej Dudek


I'm an assistant professor at the Institute of Computer Science, University of Wrocław.

My research focuses on theoretical computer science, with a particular interest in fine-grained complexity and algorithm design.

I completed my PhD in June 2025 advised by Paweł Gawrychowski.
