Prize-Collecting Steiner Forest Problems
Research project in Network Design
From the beginning of my Ph.D. program, I have been working on a network design problem called Prize-Collecting Steiner Forests. I have read several papers on this topic and collaborated with a group of researchers.
Throughout this project, I faced several challenges, including defining research directions, coordinating teamwork, breaking down the problem into manageable steps, and meeting deadlines—even when the work seemed overwhelming.
As a result of this project, I have published several papers and gained a deeper understanding of the problem and the state of the art. Our publications include:
