I am studying theoretical and computational aspects of Integer Programming including branching, generation of valid inequalities, primal heuristics, search strategies, preprocessing techniques. I am also interested in theory and applications of Networks and Graphs, Combinatorial Optimization and Approximation Algorithms. My Thesis Advisor is Dr. Ted Ralphs and its a great experience to be working with him.
