Current Research Interests

Nonlinear optimization and computational analysis.

This research involves developing new primal-dual algorithms for nonlinear constrained optimization, their mathematical analysis, efficient implementation and application to problems in computational learning, radiation treatment planning, power generation and transmission. Optimization based computational analysis also includes investigation of light enhancement and propagation in nanostructures and estimation of electron transfer rates in proteins and molecular wires.
