Research Interests
My research applies modern algorithmic techniques to the hardest, longstanding open problems in the field of fast graph algorithms. To illustrate, here are some of my recent discoveries:- the first almost-linear time algorithm for deterministic global minimum cut through the expander decomposition technique,
- the first almost-linear time all-pairs minimum cut (Gomory-Hu tree) algorithm through the isolating cuts framework and recent advances in dynamic graph algorithms, and
- the first nearly work- and time-optimal parallel algorithm for approximate shortest path through methods in continuous optimization.
