(For those who cannot pronounce my name, I go with Nu and Dan.) Before coming to Georgia Tech, I got a Bachelor of Computer Engineering from Kasetsart University, Thailand, in 2003. I was very fortunate to work with Jittat Fakcharoenphol and people in Theory group at Kasetsart University. My research interest is applied algorithms: I am generally interested in the design and analysis of algorithms with applications. I am currently working on the following topics.
