My main research interest is in optimization for NP-hard problems, with a particular focus on problems relevant to VLSI CAD. I am also actively working on cryptography and biology-related topics. In my spare time, I hack on iOS apps. In addition to my work at Binghamton, I'm currently the Chair of the ACM Special Interest Group Governing Board, and a member of the ACM Executive Committee and ACM Council. I'm the past chair of ACM/SIGDA.
