Blerina Sinaimeri is an Associate Professor of Computer Science. Previously, she was a permanent researcher (Chargée de recherche) at the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (INRIA). She obtained her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Sapienza University of Rome in 2010. Her research interests lie primarily in the algorithmic and computational aspects of graph theory, with applications in diverse fields such as computational biology and social sciences. Within this framework, she studies the reciprocal evolution of interacting systems. Her papers have appeared in journals such as Algorithmica, Theoretical Computer Science, Bioinformatics, and IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.
Throughout her career, she has taught a variety of courses, including Network Algorithms, Advanced Algorithms, Programming, Discrete Mathematics, Algorithms and Data Structures, and Combinatorics. She has taught at both undergraduate (bachelor) and graduate (master) levels in Italy and in France (Université Lyon 1, École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (ENS), and Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon (INSA)). She is also deeply interested in the public dissemination of science and has been involved in a range of educational activities for different audiences.
