About me

My name is Valia Mitsou. Since September 2019 I am a maîtresse de conférences (assistant professor) at Université de Paris and the IRIF laboratory, where I am part of the team Theory and Algorithmics of graphs.

Before that, I held postdoc positions:

• at the same lab and university (used to be Université Paris Diderot), where I was an ATER (teaching and research assistant) (September 2017 - August 2019)
• at LIRIS (Univercité Claude Bernard Lyon 1) in Lyon, France (January 2017 - August 2017) as part of the ANR project Games and Graphs (PI: Dr. Eric Duchêne);
• at the Institute of Computer Science and Control of the Hungarian Acadamy of Sciences in Budapest, Hungary (May 2015 - December 2016) as part of the ERC project Parameterized Complexity and the Search for Tight Complexity Results (PI: Dr. Daniel Márx) and
• at Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan (June 2014 - March 2015) as part of the JST Erato Minato Discrete Structure Manipulation System Project (PI: Dr. Shin-ichi Minato).

I got my Ph.D. in September 2014 from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, supervised by Dr. Amotz Bar-Noy.

During the academic year 2013-2014, I was also a visiting researcher at the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences of Kyoto University, hosted by Dr. Kazuhisa Makino.
