Education

Research

I moved to Mentor Graphics in Oct/2011, where I am working on Geometric problems in Computational Lithography.
Before that, I was a Ph.D candidate in Computer Science at Duke University.
My advisor was Prof. Pankaj K. Agarwal.
I worked on problems in computational geometry and network design.
In particular I have worked on geometric hitting set (or equivalently set cover) problem.
Main applications of my work are in sensor networks and robotics.
For details on my research and projects, please see my publications below and my CV.
