Abstract :

Combinatorial Optimization is a central sub-area in Operations Research that has found many applications in computational biology. In this talk I will survey some of my research in computational biology that uses graph theory, matroid theory, and integer linear programming. The biological applications come from haplotyping, the study of recombination and recombination networks, and phylogenetics.
