My major research deals with the topics related to the fields of Algorithms
Design, Data communication and Data Structures. I'm interested in determining computational diffculty of solving certain specific problem
or families of problems. The problems that I am concerned with are
fundamental optimization problems that have applications in transportation,
station placement, communication, facility location, graph theory, statistics,
selection, geometric pattern matching, layout of VLSI circuits and
enumeration.
While a part my research is based on a standard sequential deterministic
model of computation, I am also interested in both parallel and distributed
models of computation and the use of probabilistic algorithms.
Last several years, I am working in the area of mobile wireless networks
and security. My main interests there are to discover the topological nature
and combinatorial properties of the networks problems that deal with location
tracking, distributed computation, sending messages and connectivity of the users.
