Hello World

Me on Cerro Santa Lucía in Santiago de Chile. My name is Niklas Rieken from Aachen, Germany. I am a PhD student at the Chair of Management Science at RWTH Aachen University. My main interests in school and research are combinatorial optimization, in particular matroids, and algorithmic mechanism design. However, as a computer science graduate, I also like formal language theory, logic, and automata theory.

Apart from that I am sports enthusiast, especially football (American and European), baseball, ultimate frisbee, table tennis, and chess. In my free time, I am a enthusiast for music (listening an playing, I play guitar and ukulele) and watching movies.
