News

• I am looking for PhD students in theoretical computer science and/or combinatorial optimization. The application deadline is July 5, 2021.
• This spring I gave a tutorial on Pseudo-Boolean Solving and Optimization at the boot camp workshop for the Satisfiability: Theory, Practice, and Beyond program at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley. See slides and video for the talk, as well as slides for the longer version with pre-recorded videos of part I, part II, part III, and part IV of the tutorial.
• Here is a Danish reading exercise Løsningens kunst ("The Art of Solving") with a popular scientific take on some of my research.
• The MIAO research group is off to a roaring start in Copenhagen and Lund!
• A team including MIAO members Jo Devriendt and Stephan Gocht placed second in the planning track and third in the main track of the SAT Competition 2020. Congratulations, Jo and Stephan!

Professional activities

I am a professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and also have a part-time affiliation with the the Department of Computer Science at Lund University. For now, some of my webpages still reside here at KTH, but they are in the process of being moved to www.jakobnordstrom.se.

Prior to moving to Copenhagen and Lund, I worked at KTH as an assistant professor and then associate professor during the years 2011-2019. During 2008-2010 I was a postdoc at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology hosted by Madhu Sudan. Before that I was a PhD student of Johan Håstad in the Theory Group at KTH, where I defended my PhD thesis in May 2008.
