Research

I am Computer Science Professor and Assistant Chair in the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at Pace University. My research interests are in various aspects of algorithms, from theoretical analysis to experimental algorithms. Specific areas of my research include algorithms for highly dynamic networks, the application of game theory and reinforcement learning to crowd computing, and online and reallocation algorithms for cloud computing and radio networks. I serve as Editorial Board member of Oxford The Computer Journal. This year, I serve in the Technical Program Committee of IEEE HPCC 2024.

Honors:

Invited speaker at Fun with Algorithms 2022.
ICALP 2018 Best Paper Award.
2016 Faculty Research Mentor of the Year, and my student Maitri Chakraborty is the 2016 Undergraduate Researcher of the Year.

A story about Paul Erdős:
by Charles Krauthammer, Washington Post Writers Group
A few years ago, Graham tells me, Erdős heard of a promising young mathematician who wanted to go to Harvard but was short the money needed. Erdős arranged to see him and lent him $1,000. (The sum total of the money Erdős carried around at any one time was about $30.) He told the young man he could pay it back when he was able to. Recently, the young man called Graham to say that he had gone through Harvard and was now teaching at Michigan and could finally pay the money back. What should he do? Graham consulted Erdős. Erdős said, "Tell him to do with the $1,000 what I did."
