#swingdancing — Public Fediverse posts

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!

The #swingdancing #jive #lindyhop dancing community is pure undiluted joy. This is the moment I knew I was hooked.

👋 Hi, this is me, my #introduction

I'm Joff, I live in Melbourne/Naarm in Australia. Originally from Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Some form of #leftist #queerish #enm cis-human who ideally would live in some sort of technohippie commune with all my friends

Things I'm very into
#aviation I've been (very slowly) working on getting my Private Pilots Licence. I currently hold an RPL. Planes are cool!
#photography Nice photos!
#swingdancing. Okay, it's been quite a while since I've done that, but I'm still gonna count it.
#spaceflight and #rockets.
Playing all together far too much #RocketLeague

The few grey hairs in my beard are the evidence I've been a software engineer for quite some time now. Done most things, but I have a special place in my heart for #Elixir and #DevOps. Trying hard not to make this my entire personality. Currently working in the #ClimateChange space
