About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Computer Science, Toronto Metropolitan University .
My main area of interest is computational geometry.
Particularly, I am interested in visibility graphs and unit disk graphs.
I am a member of Geometric Computing Lab.

My areas of interest
Conflict-free coloring of polygon visibility graphs
Conflict-free coloring of a simple graph is assigning colors to a subset of vertices such that every vertex in the graph sees a unique color. A polygon visibility graph is a graph that describes the visibility relations among the vertices of a given polygon.
Unit disk graph recognition on restricted domains
Recognizing of a unit disk graph is determining whether a given simple graph can be realized as an intersection graph of unit disks. A restricted domain is a pre-determined solution space in which the disks are allowed to be centered.
Maximum clique of a disk set
A clique is a set of disks where each disk mutually intersect. The aim is to find such a set with maximum cardinality. It is not yet known whether this problem is tractable.
