My active research is in the area of algorithms and data structures, graph algorithms, and algorithms for large data sets. However, I am interested in pretty much everything that has a nice and elegant proof. My favourite book about math is Proofs from THE BOOK by M. Aigner and G. M. Ziegler (Second Edition, Springer-Verlag, 2002). If you don't know what THE BOOK is or who Paul Erdős was (the first believer in THE BOOK), ask me or, even better, read Proofs from THE BOOK. My favourite books about computer science are Randomized Algorithms by R. Motwani and P. Raghavan (Cambridge University Press, 1995), Approximation Algorithms by V. Vazirani (Springer-Verlag, 2001), and Design Patterns by E. Gamma, R. Helm, R. Johnson, and J. Vlissides (Addison-Wesley, 1995). My book of all books is J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, which I claim was my main motivation to learn English better and which I also used to improve my Spanish a bit.
Whenever I am not working, which happens way too rarely, my favourite occupations are reading; going for walks with my wife Nelly; going jogging (well, I don't really like it; but I like the feeling of having done something good for my body); going to the movies; and, most importantly, playing with my son Luca.
