Zach Langley

I am a third-year PhD student at Rutgers University, advised by Aaron Bernstein. I am broadly interested in theoretical computer science and combinatorics, though my research is mainly focused on the design and analysis of algorithms.

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.
