I registered for an event, seemingly organised by one of my favourite professors, who retired a few years ago. I was super excited to get to see him again.

Turns out he shares a name with the *actual* organiser of the event 😅

I'm sure that guy is nice, too. At least now I have an opportunity to find out 🤷‍♀️

I'm looking for a replacement for MS Publisher. It has been my go-to application for anything that needs a detailed layout for printed materials (e.g., #academicPosters, #flyers, table tents, #businessCards). Now that #Microsoft will stop supporting it in October, I need a new idea.

What is everyone else using for desktop publishing?

#Canva is great for some projects, but the translation to printed materials has issues (like not being able to set margins). I've also tried #InDesign, but that has a steep learning curve and is overkill for what I need.

And no Word or PowerPoint. I've tried those too. This is not what they are designed for.

📝 New blog post:
Finding the perfect PhD topic – or how it finds you

Julia Flattich reflects on the early stages of doctoral research: how an initially well-defined proposal develops through reading, discussion and new questions. Her post explores the challenges of balancing curiosity, academic relevance and feasibility—and why uncertainty can be an important part of the research process.

"¿Ya de vacaciones?" No exactamente. Detrás de esa pregunta tan habitual hay un trabajo —investigar, gestionar, evaluar— que casi nunca se ve.

Proud of Denisa Arsene for presenting us and our work at the Complex Networks conference last week. She had a lot of engagement during her presentation, and made a ton of cool new science friends from all over the world 🤓 🌟

Key contribution: SANA (simulated annealing for network anonymisation), an algorithm that makes small alterations to social networks to protect the people in the network from de-anonymization attacks.

Motivation: Facilitating data sharing between social scientists while preserving the privacy of the people who were part of those studies.

My student did a Science!

One week from now, Denisa Arsene will present the her BSc thesis research at the 14th International Conference on Complex Networks and their Applications, held in Binghamton, New York, USA!

More details and preprint: https://latower.github.io/posts/2025/11/sana/

I'm super proud of her, and I'm super happy that I got to do this project with her and two of my former colleagues from Leiden University: Rachel de Jong and Frank Takes!

Hi everyone,

I feel like a re-introduction is long overdue!

My name is Anna, and I'm an assistant professor of Algorithmics at the Delft University of Technology, specialising in combinatorial optimisation, symbolic AI, constraint programming, propositional model counting, operations research and reasoning under uncertainty.

I'm a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.

In my spare time I like to hike and go geocaching. I try to go swing dancing a few times a week. I am a Trekkie. I want to learn how to draw. I am an Indomie and Obsidian enthusiast. Based in the Netherlands, I miss Belgium, Canada and Singapore.

Since a job in academia somehow always is personal, I have chosen to mix professional interactions with the more personal ones on this platform. At least for now. Obviously, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer yadiyadiyada.

Hope to keep interacting with you all!

A job somewhat out of the ordinary today: contributing to editing my own video lecture.

The National Library of #Norway commissioned my institute NIBR at #OsloMet University to have me record a 30 minute video.

Task: Help high school students get an overview of #Sámi and #Norwegian history that will allow them to better understand why the temperature is so high in conflicts between the Norwegian government and #Indigenous Sámi over natural resources.

Our friends at Lund University have an opening for a PhD position in TCS and/or combinatorial optimization: https://jakobnordstrom.github.io/openings/PhD-Lund-230601.html

The application deadline is June 1, 2023.

Position is in the Mathematical Insights into Algorithms for Optimization (MIAO) group headed by Jakob Nordstrom: "Using the power of mathematics, we strive to create fundamental breakthroughs in algorithms and complexity theory. While the focus in on foundational research, we do have a track record of surprising algorithmic discoveries leading to major industrial applications."

Very happy that our paper "Solving the Identifying Code Set Problem with Grouped Independent Support" was accepted to IJCAI 2023!

I did this work together with Prof. Kuldeep Meel and from NUS and Prof. Arunabha Sen from ASU. It was a great pleasure to work with them, and I learned a lot from both of them during this project. We have some ideas for further research, so I hope this story is to be continued...

Shout-out and many thanks to @msoos for his last-minute help to fix a bug in the code!

This is my first accepted conference paper that I worked on without my PhD advisor Dr. Siegfried Nijssen Dr. Behrouz Babaki. It felt a little bit weird doing this without them, but I guess that's part of the job.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this work in conversation, encouragement, feedback, or just simply making our office a nice place to work at 🙂

If you're planning to attend IJCAI in Macau, and want to meet up, let me know!

So do I get to see any fellow #histodons at #BATW (Britain and the World) this week? I'm flying out to Pittsburgh tomorrow to present a paper on pop culture in Restoration and Hanoverian Britain (my first live paper since 2019!).
