I am a Veena and Induprakas Keri Faculty Fellow, Assistant Professor, at Dept. of Computer Science & Engg., Indian Institute of Technology Madras. Before moving to Chennai, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, funded by PBC Fellowship, and at Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary. I obtained my Ph.D. from University of Bergen, Norway, under the guidance of Prof. Saket Saurabh and Prof. Daniel Lokshtanov.
My research interests include Parameterized Complexity & Algorithms, Graph Algorithms, Computational Geometry, Exact Algorithms and Fine Grained Algorithms & Complexity. I am looking for excellent Ph.D. students, Postdocs, masters, and internship students. If you are interested in any of these positions you can write to me. International candidates seeking for postdoc positions can check this. Please take a brief look at my research and the areas of my interest. Emails that are not aligned with these research areas, common prototype emails that are in-bulk forwarded to multiple people, or those with email scanners may not be answered. |
