I am interested in Computational Geometry, and in applications of geometric algorithms to real life problems. More specifically, I show interest in the following topic;
- Geometric Pattern Matching.
- Realistic input models for geometric algorithms.
- Geographic Information Systems and Spatial data structure.
- Algorithms for exploring and mapping environment.
