Curriculum Vitae

Research Interests:

Algebraic Combinatorics. Association Schemes, Coding theory, Design theory. The main interest of my research is to elucidate how the algebraic representation of P- and Q-polynomial schemes influence the combinatorial structures. Also I am interested in finding real applications of pure mathematics to different areas in which mathematics has not been applied enough yet.
