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. I received my PhD from University of Minnesota in 1995, was a post-doctoral fellow at DIMACS and jointly at University of Waterloo and McMaster University in Canada before I joined the computer science department of camden campus of Rutgers University; in 2001 I moved to UIC. One of my specific research interest lies in designing and implementing efficient computational methods for computationally hard problems in application areas such as bioinformatics, systems biology and hybrid systems. Outside biology, my broader research interests in computer science include designing efficient algorithms for computationally hard problems in diverse areas such as computational geometry, VLSI/CAD, parallel computing, optical networks, graph-theoretic problems and combinatorial auctions. I am also interested in lower-bound proofs for computationally hard problems.
