Bio

I am an associate professor in the department of Computer Science at Central Connecticut State University . Before I joined CCSU, I earned my Master and Ph.D. degrees in the department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Connecticut under the supervision of Professor Alexander Russell. My research includes the design and analysis of algorithms for combinatorial problems in Computer Science, especially in Computer Networks.
