At Duke University he will be collaborating with Professor Pankaj Agarwal. His research is focused on algorithms in the I/O model which is motivated by computation on very large data sets. During his stay he will primarily be working with computing so-called planar separators. The algorithm he is working on allows him to efficiently split large problems into much smaller problems which can then be solved individually.
