My research primarily focuses on Graph Theory, Matroid Theory, and Combinatorial Optimization. In particular, I investigate the structure of signed graphs and aim to extend existing theories within several areas of Graph Theory, including Structural Graph Theory, Spectral Graph Theory, and Computational Complexity Theory. Signed graphs hold both mathematical significance and practical applicability as modeling tools across diverse disciplines such as biology (boolean networks), chemistry (chemical reaction networks), psychology (structural balance theory), and physics (spin glasses). Their importance is now widely acknowledged as a distinct subfield within Graph Theory. My current research focuses on the Laplacian integral signed graphs and the computational complexity of reconfiguration problems related to matroid homomorphisms.
