Henning Meyerhenke is Professor of Computer Science at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) since April 2025. Prior to that, he was Professor at HU Berlin and U of Cologne as well as Assistant Professor at KIT. Henning held postdoctoral positions at Georgia Tech (Atlanta, USA), NEC Laboratories Europe, and U of Paderborn. He received his Diplom degree from Friedrich Schiller University Jena in 2004 and his Ph.D. (with highest distinction) in Computer Science from U of Paderborn in 2008.

Together with his co-authors, he received the Best Algorithms Paper Award at the 22nd IEEE Intl. Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (2008) and the Best Paper Award of the 2015 Intl. Symposium on Foundations and Applications of Big Data Analytics.

Henning's main research interests concern scalable algorithms for large and complex networked systems, in particular in three areas:

• Algorithmic network analysis
• Combinatorial scientific computing
• Applied combinatorial optimization
