This Project Grant award of $450,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program aims to advance the state of the art in distance sketching, a powerful technique for processing and storing massive datasets.

The key research objectives are to: 1) design new algorithms for constructing instance-optimal spanners, which are optimized for each input dataset, 2) study spanning tree covers and locality-sensitive orderings to achieve the same theoretical guarantees as spanners while providing greater structural simplicity, and 3) develop efficient algorithms for constructing distance sketches across different computational models. The research spans areas such as graph theory, discrete geometry, dynamic algorithms, and approximation algorithms, with the potential to broadly impact applications like navigation maps and wireless network routing. The project will also train undergraduate and graduate students.

The award will be performed by the University of Massachusetts, a prominent public research institution, over a 3-year period from July 2025 to June 2028.
