- Lecture Section: A (ARC 147)
- Welcome to CSE 312! I've been here long enough to have worked with the design teams for both the Gates and Allen Centers. My primary research is in computational complexity, with interests both in pure theory and in its applications to other areas of CS. Randomness comes up in my research both as an algorithmic technique to solve problems and as a way of constructing challenging examples to show that problems are hard solve.
