My general research interests are in numerical optimization and scientific computation. In addition, I am interested in the application of optimization methods to medical, engineering, and financial problems. My current interests include generalizing the trust region theory for
unconstrained minimization to nonlinearly constrained minimization using an affine scaling and trust region minimization approach. My research focus is on both theoretical analysis and computational performance. On

the application front, my current research is directed at
computing volatility for financial derivative pricing and hedging.
