discrete geometry, including convexity questions for point sets,
visibility, graph drawing, crossing numbers of graphs, semialgebraic
hypergraphs, and Delauney graphs.
Possible advisors include Martin Balko, Vit Jelinek, Jan Kratochvil, Jan Kyncl,
Maria Saumell, and Pavel Valtr.
Teaching duties: max. 1 tutorial (90 minutes) per week during the semester.
