I am currently an assistant professor in the Discrete Math group at Department of Mathematics , University of West Georgia .Department of Mathematics , University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. I wrote my dissertation, entitled "Covering and Coloring Metric Spaces, and
L(2,1)-labeling of Graphs '', under the guidance of Prof. Zoltán Füredi in the Combinatorics Group at UIUC.
After that, I was a postdoc in the Discrete Math group at Department of Mathematics , University of Central Florida .Research Interests
My research interests are in the areas of combinatorics, graph theory, and combinatorial geometry. In my
dissertation, I have worked on a long standing problem in combinatorial geometry related to coloring of metric
spaces and its variations, using methods from discrete geometry and probabilistic combinatorics. I also have
various results on a central conjecture in L(2,1)-labeling of graphs, a generalization of ordinary graph
coloring, motivated by the channel assignment problem. I am also interested in and working on other problems from
combinatorial geometry, extremal graph theory, and combinatorial number theory.
