Research Interests:
I have done research in several areas: In particular, I have been working on Coding Theory, Data Security, Parallel and Distributed Computation, and applications of Information--Theoretical methods to problems of Extremal Combinatorics and Theoretical Computer Science. I am now especially interested in Computational Complexity Issues in Information Theory, Algorithmic Issues in Social Networks, and Combinatorics.
