Introduction

Shang-En Huang is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering (CSIE), National Taiwan University. Shang-En Huang obtained his Ph.D. degree from University of Michigan and was a postdoc at Boston College. Shang-En's research interests include dynamic graph data structures and algorithms and distributed graph algorithms.

We work on a research subfield in theoretical computer science (TCS), especially in graph algorithms and distributed graph algorithms.


Research Topics

TCS: Fast Graph Algorithms

  • We develop fast graph algorithms for solving approximate matching, shortest paths, and maximum flows.

TCS: Graph Sparsification

  • We investigate existence and constructions to sparser graphs / graph data structures that approximately preserve the properties required by graph problems.

TCS: Parallel and Distributed Graph Algorithms

  • We identify the bottleneck of parallelization of classical graph algorithms. These algorithms have applications to routing and transhipment in large networks.
