Description of Research Interests

His research interests include the application of vertex search algorithm to linear, nonlinear, multiobjective, bilevel programming and to phased transportation problems. Presently he is working on some scalarization techniques to obtain nondominated pairs for multiobjective integer programming problems. Another areas he is exploring now a days is duality relations in minimax programming problems using generalized convex functions.
