I worked on NP-Completeness to know the computational limitation of classical computers. During research, I have proposed a new widget for Hamiltonian Circuit problem which serves the same purpose but with12 edges and 10 vertices instead of the original widget which has 14 edges and 12 vertices. Continuing on the same track, I have also proved "partition of quadrangle is NP-Complete" by doing the reduction from 3 exact cover. Also, developed a tool called “Nucleotide pattern search using Hadoop” that finds a specific DNA pattern specified by user with or without tolerance from the huge Nucleotide repository (NCBI) using fuzzy match algorithm.
