Research Interests

Claire Mathieu is primarily interested in the design and analysis of algorithms. She has also done work relating to average-case analysis of algorithms, computing with errors, models for DNA computing, analysis of statistical physics models, Monte Carlo Markov chains, computational geometry and online algorithms. Currently, her focus is on approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems such as scheduling, packing, and clustering, with a particular focus on approximation schemes.
