Personal interests

My Erdös number is at most 3 (Frank Neven -> Noga Alon -> Paul Erdös).

Using similar metrics for the relation "played music on stage together with", my Natalia number is 1. This implies an Anastacia number of 2, Pointer Sisters number of 2, and a few others. If one would categorize an episode of Idool 2003 (no, I did not sing...) as an actual movie, this would give me a Bacon number of at most 4 (using the relation "played in a movie with"). Not that this stuff actually matters.


Being at the University of Dortmund is great! The view from my window provides me with constantly evolving inspiration on Rush Hour, which is known to be PSPACE-complete in general. My former university in Hasselt provided me with very useful inspiration on XML with data values.
