Dr. Feodor F. Dragan
Professor of Computer Science
Feodor F.
Dragan received the M.S. degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science
from Moldova State University, in 1985, and the PhD degree in Theoretical
Computer Science from the Belorussian Academy of Sciences, in 1990. He was an
Assistant and then an Associate Professor at the Mathematics and Computer
Science Department of Moldova State University from 1988 to 1999. From 1994 to
1999, he was on leave of absence and worked in Germany as a Research Associate
on a Volkswagen Foundation (VW) project and on a German Research Community
(DFG) project. He was also awarded a DAAD Research Fellowship (Germany) from
1994 to 1995. During 1999 to 2000, he was a Research Associate at the Computer
Science Department of University of California, Los Angeles. Since August 2000
he has been with Kent State University and he is currently a Professor of Computer
Science. He
held visiting positions in Germany (Technische Universitaet Berlin), in France (Universite
de la Mediterranee, Marseille and Universite Paris
Diderot - Paris 7), in Norway (Universitetet i
Bergen), and in Chile (Universidad de Chile,
Santiago). He has authored more than 150 refereed scientific publications. His
research interests include design and analysis of network algorithms,
algorithmic graph and hypergraph theory, computational geometry, computational
biology, VLSI CAD, combinatorial optimization, discrete convexity and geometry
of discrete metric spaces, distance location problems and operations research,
data analysis.
