I am an Associate Professor in the Computer Science department at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). I am also affiliated with the Bioengineering department at UIC. My research interests span several areas such as Theoretical Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics/Algorithms, Computational Biology, Computational Geometry, Computational Economics and Finance etc.

During Spring 2013, I teach CS 502 (Introduction to Computational Molecular Biology)

To know more about about myself, my research and other stuff, please follow one of the following links.

Interesting tidbits:

• High school student Pradyut Paul published in Physical Review E with our group in 2011.

• Our group member and PhD student Lakshmi Kaligounder received the best student poster award for the Computer Science Division for the 105^th annual meeting of the Illinois State Academy of Science (April 5-6, 2013) based on her presentation of her poster, "On the Stability of Banking Networks", that she co-authored with Bhaskar DasGupta, Piotr Berman and Marek Karpinski.
