About

Professional Summary

I am an interdisciplinary researcher with expertise in computer science, information technology, mathematical sciences and operations research. I have been working on Combinatorial Optimization Problems (COPs) using AI techniques, specially, lexisearch algorithm & genetic algorithms (GAs). In GAs, I proposed sequential constructive crossover for the TSP which was applied to other COPs.
