Hi, I'm Theo Pan! I'm currently a second-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at UC Davis. I have the honor of being advised by Slobodan Mitrović.

Research interests: I am interested in developing algorithms to solve graph theory problems and combinatorial problems in general. Specifically, my research looks at improving parallel, distributed, streaming, and private algorithms for these problems.

I'm also a co-coach of the ICPC teams at UC Davis. If you're interested in competitive programming at Davis, feel free to reach out to me!
