Research Interests

  • Algebraic Combinatorics; in particular, theory of association schemes; schemes are combinatorial configurations which may be viewed as generalized groups and generalized distance-regular graphs. The theory provides a foundation of an algebraic approach to error-correcting codes and combinatorial designs.
  • Interests also lie in other various combinatorial and algebraic objects, such as, combinatorial designs, distance-regular graphs, codes, matrix theory, extremal set theory, cryptography, classical groups, permutation groups, loops, partially ordered sets, group characters and representations.
