Research Interests
My main research interests are in computational linear algebra, data mining and bioinformatics. My emphasis is on exploring core problems in these areas to obtain novel algorithms that preserve the underlying problem structure. Some of the problems I am currently studying include clustering of high-dimensional data, low-dimensional approximations that preserve sparsity and non-negativity, and fast algorithms for eigenvalue problems.
