I'm a Ph.D. student in the Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization
(ACO) program at Carnegie Mellon University.
My research interests lie in theoretical Integer Programming, Polyhedral Theory and Combinatorial Optimization.
My thesis work is in cutting plane theory for general mixed-integer linear programs. More specifically, I am working on developing the theory of cutting planes from multiple rows of the simplex tableau. My
advisor is Gerard Cornuejols.
