Research
My research is on various topics in computational complexity theory, quantum information theory and discrete mathematics.
A unifying theme in my work is the interaction between amortization, symmetry and approximation.
Among the topics that I am particularly interested in are: fast matrix multiplication, Shannon capacity of graphs, the algebraic version of the P versus NP problem, direct sum theorems and Ramsey type problems. I use methods from diverse fields, including representation theory, algebraic geometry, information theory, optimization and real semi-algebraic geometry.
