Dr. Sarah Maria Morell

Mathematical Researcher in Combinatorial Optimization

I am a mathematician with a strong interest in Combinatorial Optimization. To date, I have mainly worked on network flow algorithms in various contexts.

I hold a position as a Researcher/Lecturer (with tenure track to Senior Researcher) at the University of Bremen in Germany from October 2025 to September 2026. Prior to this, I was a Postdoc at the University of Bremen from April to September 2025, hosted by Prof. Dr. Nicole Megow.

I received my PhD in the Mathematics department at the Technische Universität Berlin under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Martin Skutella in April 2025. I also hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mathematics, both from EPFL in Switzerland. My master thesis about algorithms for diversity maximization was advised by Prof. Dr. Friedrich Eisenbrand.

I am currently on a leave of absence and exploring opportunities for my next professional chapter, starting in early 2027. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss research or potential collaborations.
