My research areas:

My list of publications is available here, chronologically, with area keywords. For all my working papers, see here with area keywords.
My CV includes my working papers and publications in interdisciplinary papers, mostly in medical journals, separately from my other work.
Also, an imperfect attempt for an area-based classification is made here.
Some of the topics that I have been interested in:

• The design and implementation of the living-donor organ-paired exchanges, especially for liver and kidney, and blood allocation and exchange mechanisms
• Matching with (re)assignment and their applications to tuition exchange in college admissions, teacher (re)assignment, student exchange, and student-athlete transfer, and their implications on labor markets, education, etc.
• The theory and real-life implementation of reserve systems from the pandemic resource allocation to Indian affirmative action policies.
• Theory and axiomatics of resource allocation and matching mechanisms in general.
• Improving recommendation and matching systems used in adopting children and search and matching theory with an operations management focus.
• Market failures and other consequences of centralized mechanisms or regulations in two-sided matching and labor markets.
• Earlier in my career, I also worked on obtaining insights using agent-based models in market design through the perspective of complex systems in economics.
