Research

My primary research interests are in algorithms for distributed networks and approximation algorithms for hard optimization problems. More specifically, I am interested in data management, load balancing, routing, and scheduling on sensor networks, ad hoc wireless networks, and other distributed systems. My other interests include combinatorial optimization, on-line algorithms, and randomness.
