Professor Mishra is interested in mathematical and algorithmic methods of computer science with applications to various real-life problems. His research interests span many areas of computer science (e.g. VLSI tools, compiler design, real-time, asynchronous and self-timed systems, algorithms and data structures, complexity, computational algebra and geometry, computational biology, computational finance), mathematics (logic, combinatorics, algebra) and robotics. Most recently, he has developed several new algorithms in commutative and differential algebra with potential applications in robotics and control theory. In robotics area, his primary interest has been in the area of dexterous manipulation, where he studies manipulation schemes with polydactyl robot hands. His most recent projects include reactive robotics, a new control paradigm for robotics, DigiLand, an object-oriented distributed virtual economy and a collaboration on the human Genome project. Professor Mishra has acted as a technical consultant for various computer and financial industries.
