OVERVIEW
I design and implement algorithms for hard-to-solve combinatorial optimization problems with various real life
applications. I develop exact and heuristic methods to find good quality solutions in reasonable computation
time. I am well versed in advanced data structures and algorithms with significant programming experience in
object-oriented languages like C++.
R ESEARCH I NTERESTS
Combinatorial optimization. Large scale optimization. Integer programming. Metaheuristics. Graph theory and
network flow problems.
