Martin Skutella's research interests lie primarily in the field of combinatorial optimization and have multiple applications. For example, they serve to design efficient escape routes at major events.
Skutella studied mathematics and physics at RWTH Aachen University. His dissertation at the TU Berlin has been awarded numerous prizes. Various stays abroad led him, amongst others, to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA.
Since 2007 Skutella teaches at the Institute of Mathematics at the TU Berlin.
