Research

edit

His research areas include algorithmic economic market theory and game theory, string and pattern matching, amortization, parallelism, and network and routing problems. His notable research contributions include an optimal parallel algorithm for sorting in the PRAM model,[3] and an optimal analysis of the Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm.[4][5]
