Research Experience

Online Facility Assignment with Nonuniform Capacities

Investigated the online facility assignment problem with nonuniform facility capacities in metric spaces. Established a reduction from the general setting to the unit-capacity case, simplifying the analysis of greedy algorithms. Derived tighter competitive ratio bounds for algorithms on Euclidean planes and unweighted graphs, extending prior results on uniform capacities. Manuscript under review.

Tools: Python, Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib

Semantic Search Engine using an Ontology

Developed a novel ontology for social media influencers to categorise them by audience location, interaction rates, and content types. Later work refined assumptions from the original study by fine-tuning LLaMA2 and applying prompt engineering techniques.
