Summary Information

I received my Ph.D in 2004 from Georgia Tech in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization, under the supervision of Robin Thomas (August 22, 1962 – March 26, 2020).  Before coming to UCF, I was a Zassenhaus Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University for one year.

My mathematical interests span Graph Theory, Combinatorics, Optimization and Algorithms. My current research interests primarily focus on Hadwiger’s Conjecture and its strengthenings and wekennings; Ramsey related problems including size of co-critical graphs and Ramsey numbers of graphs; and the Erdos-Lovasz Tihany Conjecture.

My work is currently supported by the National Science Foundation  under Grant No. DMS-2153945; and in the past  by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. DMS-1854903, and the National Security Agency under Grant No. H98230-09-1-0055.

I serve as an Associate Editor for Discrete Mathematics, a peer-reviewed journal in Mathematics.
