Research and Teaching Interests

Current research interests focus on coding theory and other combinatorial structures such as  designs, and hypergraphs and their properties and as well as related areas of application. Of particular interest are algorithmic and computational methods for enumerating, constructing and studying properties related to these  structures. Recently, I have had a supporting role in teaching and  occasional research in statistics.
