Research Interests

Algorithmic aspects of the problem solving process with the main focus on the analysis of efficiently solvable cases of hard optimisation problems such as travelling salesman problem and quadratic assignment problem; design and implementation of exact and approximate algorithms for combinatorial optimisation problems: vehicle routing problem, bin packing problem, network optimisation problems etc.
