His research career, which spans over twenty years, has been centred around the design of algorithms, together with work on complexity theory, cryptography, coding theory, and game theory. During the first ten years, he made seminal contributions to the classical maximum matching problem which has historically played a central role in the development of the theory of algorithms. Over the last ten years he has had much influence on the emerging theory of approximation algorithms through work on several of its fundamental problems. Besides his academic duties as Professor of Computer Science at Georgia Tech, he serves on the Board of Directors of Primitive Root, Inc., an Internet security company, of which he is also a co-founder.
