I am an Associate Professor at the Computer Science Department at the University of Arizona. I won the NSF CAREER award (2004), to work on "Pattern Matching, Realistic Input Models and Sensor Placement. Useful Algorithms in Computational Geometry." I am on the editorial board of IJCGA and of Transactions on Algorithms Engineering. I was a program committee member of SoCG05, SoCG13, Broadnets06, 07, 08, 09, ICC WAS ACM GIS 07, 08, 09, 11,12, ALGOSENSORS 08 ALGOSENSORS 11 FOCS 09, INFOCOM 09 and 10 and 11.
