Cenny Wenner
is a Ph.D. student of the
Theory Group
at KTH Royal Institute of Technology
and Stockholm University
advised by professors
Johan Håstad
and Viggo Kann.
His thesis topic is the hardness of approximating
NP-hard optimization problems with a particular inclination
towards studying the leverage points of modern
techniques and whether the area really needs pesky unproven
conjectures. In the author's spare time, he enjoys most geeky activities
such as playing Go, Mahjong, programming, volunteering, and
daydreaming about making a difference in the world when he grows up.
