RESEARCH AREAS
I perform research in combinatorial optimization with an emphasis in integer programming and graph theory. The integer programming research focuses on finding improved techniques to solve integer programs through the discovery of new cutting planes. The graph theory research develops algorithms and heuristics to solve computationally challenging problems.
I also perform research in optimizing weight loss.
After putting on sufficient weight to be in the middle of the overweight category and failing
at numerous diets due to the misery inflicted by the diet plan, I recognized
that the body is a system and that I could optimize my dieting experience.
By applying Industrial Engineering, Operations Research and Mathematics to
eating and exercise I developed an optimized dieting strategy called The When Diet.
I proceeded to write a book to let the world know that there is a better way
to diet and I continue this area of optimizing weight loss today.
