I am a post-doctoral candidate at Microsoft Research, New England in Cambridge. I was a Ph.D. student in the ACO (Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization) program at Tepper School of Business where my advisor was Prof. R. Ravi. I am interested in designing efficient algorithms for hard combinatorial optimization problems. My focus has been to design approximation algorithms for basic network design problems. I am also interested in studying models which deal with uncertainty in data including online algorithms, stochastic and robust optimization.
