General Information

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at Illinois Institute of Technology. Here is my departmental contact page.

I graduated from the Department of Mathematics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I was a member of the Combinatorics and Graph Theory research group, and the Simulation and Optimization laboratory (a part of Operations Research at UIUC). My dissertation was co-directed by Professors Sheldon Jacobson and Douglas West.

I was an AMS Project NExT Fellow, 2007-08.

Earlier, I studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay and at St. Stephen's College, Delhi.

My Curriculum Vitae.

Research Interests

I work in the fields of Discrete Mathematics and Operations Research.
My research interests lie in Combinatorics & Graph theory, Discrete Optimization, Discrete Geometry, and their interface with Probability.

In particular, I am interested in both theoretical and applied aspects of (in no particular order) extremal graph theory, probabilistic combinatorics, stochastic combinatorial optimization, optimization on graphs and networks, random discrete structures such as random geometric graphs, models for discrete complex systems such as small-world network models, metaheuristics and local search landscapes in discrete optimization, stochastic models in operations research, multiobjective discrete optimization, and stochastic discrete geometry.
Here is the departmental research page at IIT.

Here is a brief Statement of Research Interests.
