Research:

The research work of this laboratory centers on structural and algorithmic properties of NP-complete problems related to logic. In particular, problems such as propositional satisfiability, are studied with the goal of finding good approximation algorithms and efficiently solvable classes of instances. We study the relationship among graph/matrix theoretic problems, optimization problems, and logic problems with the intention of developing and exploiting tools in one domain to solve problems in another domain.
