Then I was Director of Computing Principles Research at Avaya Labs (2001-2002),
and Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University (2002-2003).
I joined Columbia University in 2004.

My research interests include design and analysis of algorithms, complexity theory, combinatorial optimization, game theory, databases, and modelling, verification and testing of reactive systems.
