Hi Dr. Hung, I would like to understand your research and what you are doing. However, I feel that I do not have enough background knowledge to read your publications. Could you please recommend me some resources that I can follow to build a foundation before reading them? Thanks.
Hmm. Great question, that I really don't have a great answer to. I have been doing some of these things for a decade now, and that means they are technically deep, and hence not easily accessible to non-experts. Let me try to answer anyway. I have been doing a few things: planar graph algorithms, graph and geometric spanners, and metric embeddings. 1. Planar graph algorithms: this book could serve you well if you want to learn more about that: https://planarity.org/ 2. Geometric spanners: this book is quite accessible https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/geometric-spanner-networks/5F6DB26F68BC2225BE649E540B148E3E 3. Metric embeddings: This course is really helpful (https://cs.nyu.edu/~ag10120/metrics/index.html) and the first couple of chapters of this thesis is also quite accessible and very relevant to the work that I did (https://i.cs.hku.hk/~hubert/thesis/thesis.pdf)
