About Me

Hello, I am Aditya and am a first second year doctoral student in CMU. I am a citizen of India and a native of Bangalore, but was raised in Bhilai. I lived in Bombay for 4 years during my bachelors. I can speak English and Hindi fluently. Although Kannada and Telugu are my native languages, I generally end up speaking colloquial Kannada (peppered with English and Hindi words). I can fairly understand Telugu but unfortunately can't speak it as well. My dad works for the Bhilai Steel Plant and my mother is a Sr. Lecturer in the M.G.M. School there. I also have a wonderful elder brother. And I like Cricket (the sport), Hindustani Classical music and Calvin&Hobbes. Ohh, and I blog very occasionally.

Education

Research Interests

Broadly speaking Data Mining (Graph Mining, Time Series Analysis, Tensors) and Databases. But I am tending towards mostly problems on large graphs such as community detection, clustering, virus propagation, centrality measures etc. My amazing advisor is Prof. Christos Faloutsos and I work in the Database Group. Here is my Resume : PDF (last updated, February 12, 2009).
