My research interests are in algorithms and their applications, with an emphasis on:
foundations of algorithms, including combinatorial optimization, graph algorithms, complexity, and data structures;
scalable algorithms for data mining, graph analytics, retrieval, and reasoning; and
algorithms for data privacy, including anonymization, privacy-preserving data analysis, and differential privacy.
