The size and complexity of today’s graphs present challenges that necessitate the discovery of new algorithms. One central area of research in this endeavor is computing and estimating distances in graphs. In this talk I will discuss two fundamental families of distance problems in the context of modern graphs: Diameter/Radius/Eccentricities and Hopsets/Shortcut Sets.

Security, robustness, and fairness are all important non-functional properties of critical systems, such as software applications in autonomous driving, healthcare, and finance. Unlike functional correctness, which has been the subject of extensive research, techniques that can formally guarantee these non-functional properties are still severely lacking.
