Dr. Anna LatourHi everyone,I feel like a re-introduction is long overdue!My name is Anna, and I'm an assistant professor of Algorithmics at the Delft University of Technology, specialising in combinatorial optimisation, symbolic AI, constraint programming, propositional model counting, operations research and reasoning under uncertainty.I'm a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.In my spare time I like to hike and go geocaching. I try to go swing dancing a few times a week. I am a Trekkie. I want to learn how to draw. I am an Indomie and Obsidian enthusiast. Based in the Netherlands, I miss Belgium, Canada and Singapore.Since a job in academia somehow always is personal, I have chosen to mix professional interactions with the more personal ones on this platform. At least for now. Obviously, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer yadiyadiyada.Hope to keep interacting with you all!<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Introduction</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/AcademicMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AcademicMastodon</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Algorithmics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Algorithmics</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SymbolicAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SymbolicAI</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CombinatorialOptimisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CombinatorialOptimisation</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ConstraintProgramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ConstraintProgramming</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ModelCounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelCounting</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/OperationsResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OperationsResearch</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ProbabilisticInference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProbabilisticInference</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Geocaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Geocaching</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/LindyHop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LindyHop</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jazz</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SwingDancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SwingDancing</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hiking</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Travel</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TUDelft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TUDelft</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MastoMiGoreng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MastoMiGoreng</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Indomie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Indomie</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GNUTerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GNUTerryPratchett</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Catstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Catstodon</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Mastocats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastocats</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Caturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Caturday</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ExpatLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExpatLife</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MakanApaToda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakanApaToda</a>

Sara Joy :happy_pepper:I did some swing dancing (lindy hop) today. To a real band, outside, on a sunny but not-too-hot day. I saw some old friends, enjoyed hugs and dances with them. There are definitely those who have it worse.My feet and legs are a bit sore because asphalt isn't forgiving like a sprung wooden floor, but totes worth it.<a href="https://front-end.social/tags/swingDancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#swingDancing</a>
