Favorite area of math? I like working on applied problems that are not solvable using standard off-the-shelf techniques. Instead, a solution is achieved by leveraging domain-specific structure of the problem:
  1. compile heuristics based on domain expertise,
  2. unify them into a coherent mathematical framework, and
  3. generalize it to all necessary use-cases while keeping it elegant enough that the engineering implementation remains feasible.
