My main research interests are in algorithms and theory of computation in general. In particular, I am interested in randomised computation, (sublinear) algorithms on massive data sets, property testing, and computational statistics.

If you are interested in starting PhD research with me, feel free to send me an email. Official information about studying for a PhD in the Mathematics Department at the LSE, how to apply, etc., can be found on MPhil/PhD Programme in Mathematics at the LSE.
