In Drug Design, efficient database searching is effected through Steiner Tree heuristics on the graphs representing the complex organic molecules. Although the Steiner Tree problem is hard in the general case, molecular graphs exhibit a structure that can be exploited to design efficient algorithms.

Internet trading and the subsequent low commission rates have made the capital markets extremely efficient in that they have made viable a number of trading strategies, that were impractical prior to their onset. My research in Computational Finance is directed towards the twin goals of risk management and optimizing returns.
