Starting January 2024, I will join the CS Department at New York University!

Theory@CMU: The theory group and the ACO program

Upcoming theory seminars   ACO seminars   Theory Lunches at Carnegie Mellon

Most of my publications

A few of my talks

Some advice on giving technical talks.

Draft lecture notes for my Graduate Advanced Algorithms course.

My research interests are in Theoretical Computer Science, with an emphasis on Algorithms.
Specifically: Algorithms for Uncertain Environments (particularly approximation algorithms for stochastic problems, and online algorithms),
Approximation Algorithms and Metric Embeddings.

My work has been supported by several grants from the NSF (including a CAREER Award),
and an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship.

I am honored to have been named an ACM Fellow in 2021. (CMU press release)

I was an organizer of the Algorithms and Uncertainty program at the Simons Institute in 2016,
and also an organizer of the Joint Indo-US Networked Center for Algorithms under Uncertainty.

Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley, 2000
B.Tech., Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, 1996
