Background
  • Research interests include Distributed Algorithms, Fault-tolerance, Swarm Robots, Randomized Algorithms, Graph Algorithms, and Simulators for Mobile Robots.
  • Focuses on the design and analysis of algorithms for mobile agents and robots operating in discrete (graphs) and continuous spaces.
  • Studies fundamental problems such as exploration, search, rendezvous, evacuation, and filling under constraints of limited memory, communication, or environmental knowledge.
  • Work spans deterministic and randomized strategies with applications in swarm robotics, multi-agent coordination, and autonomous systems.
  • Developed simulators for these systems, including the CCM Model and LCM Model.
