Zach Langley

I am a second-year PhD student at Rutgers University, advised by Aaron Bernstein. My research interests are mainly in the theoretical foundations of algorithms, and I am particularly interested in sublinear algorithms and their limitations.

Before coming to Rutgers in 2019, I worked as a software engineer for six years at various companies, most recently on the bioinformatics team at Color. I obtained my B.S. in computer science from RIT in 2013.

See my CV or LinkedIn for more details.
