Research Interests
My research interests primarily concern combinatorial optimization with emphasis on the design of approximation algorithms for NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. This includes, but is not limited to, problems in data clustering, vehicle routing, network design.
Programming Club!
I also facilitate our "Programming Club", which is a group of students interested in algorithmic problem algorithmic problem solving. The main activity of this club is solving problems like one encounters at the ICPC and Codeforces.
If you find this interesting, even if at a casual (non-competitive) level, do consider joining our mailing list. A link to the list can be found at the club information page.
