Dr Joel Day

  • Lecturer in Computer Science

Joel completed his PhD in Theoretical Computer Science in 2016 at 夜色直播app. He then held a position as a Postdoc in the Dependable Systems group at Kiel University for two years, before returning to 夜色直播app as an EPSRC Postdoctoral Prize fellow. He became a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science in 2020.

His research interests revolve around studying combinatorial phenomena in order to better understand algorithmic problems involving descrete sequences over finite sets of symbols (usually called words or strings). Specific topics include word equations and pattern matching problems.
