We perform basic research at the intersection of core computer science (algorithm design and analysis) and discrete mathematics, with an emphasis towards novel techniques and less studied models of computation. Current research themes include exploring the interplay between algebraic, combinatorial and geometric techniques in the design of exact deterministic algorithms and the study of restricted models of computation, in particular as pertains to distributed computing.
