Research Interest

My current research focuses on the design and analysis of approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems in Operations Research and Artificial Intelligence.

  • Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs)
    • Closely related to the Traveling Salesman Problem, VRPs have wide practical applications. I have designed improved approximation algorithms for the Capacitated VRP with small vehicle capacities.
  • The Traveling Tournament Problem (TTP)
    • TTP is an interesting optimization problem in Sports Scheduling. I have designed improved approximation algorithms for TTP and its variants, including Linear Distance TTP and Bipartite TTP.
  • Cycle/Path Partitions in Complete Graphs (CP/PP)
    • Closely related to the Weighted Perfect Matching Problem, CP/PP are interesting problems in Graph Theory. I have designed improved approximation algorithms for CP/PP where all cycles/paths have the same order.
