I am a senior researcher in the Algorithms and Theory group at INSAIT. My work primarily focuses on Graph Algorithms, Approximation Algorithms, Hardness of Approximation, and Parameterized Complexity. I received my PhD from McGill University in 2014. Before joining INSAIT, I was an Associate Professor at the Institute for Theoretical Computer Science at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (ITCS@SUFE).
