Angelika Steger (born 1962) [1] is a mathematician and computer scientist whose research interests include graph theory, randomized algorithms, and approximation algorithms. She is a professor at ETH Zurich. [2]
After earlier studies at the University of Freiburg and Heidelberg University, Steger earned a master's degree from Stony Brook University in 1985. [2] She completed a doctorate from the University of Bonn in 1990, under the supervision of Hans Jürgen Prömel, with a dissertation on random combinatorial structures, [3] and earned her habilitation from Bonn in 1994. After a visiting position at the University of Kiel, she became a professor at the University of Duisburg in 1995, moved to the Technical University of Munich in 1996, and moved again to ETH Zurich in 2003.

Steger is the author of a German-language textbook on combinatorics:
and a monograph on the Steiner tree problem:
Steger was elected to the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 2007. [5] She was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2014. [6]
Gisbert Wüstholz is a German mathematician internationally known for his fundamental contributions to number theory and arithmetic geometry.
Jaroslav (Jarik) Nešetřil is a Czech mathematician, working at Charles University in Prague. His research areas include combinatorics, graph theory, algebra, posets, computer science.
In the mathematical field of graph theory, an instance of the Steiner tree problem is said to be quasi-bipartite if the non-terminal vertices in G form an independent set, i.e. if every edge is incident on at least one terminal. This generalizes the concept of a bipartite graph: if G is bipartite, and R is the set of vertices on one side of the bipartition, the set to R is automatically independent.
