About me:
My name is Manikandan Rangaswamy, and I have been working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Central University of Kerala (CUK), Kasaragod, since December 2015. Recently selected for the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) Visiting Scientist 2025-26, to visit IEOR, IIT Bombay. Prior to that, I was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru and worked with Prof. Mrinal Kanti Ghosh. Before that, I worked as a Visiting Scientist at Stat-Math Unit, Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Bengaluru. I have completed PhD in Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics, Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), under the supervision of Prof. Achyutha Krishnamoorthy.
Research:
My research interests primarily lie in Applied Probability and Stochastic Operations Research. More precisely, Stochastic Modelling and its Analysis of Queues/Reliability/Storage Systems, Stochastic Games in Queues, Telecommunications Networks and Applications.
Prospective Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Candidates:
I seek prospective doctoral (holding any JRF) and post-doctoral candidates, especially those holding NBHM-PDF, N-PDF, or other postdoc fellowships. I encourage them to discuss their research proposals with me before submitting their applications. My primary interest lies in proposals focused on Stochastic Modelling and its Analysis in Queues, Reliability, and Storage Systems, as well as Stochastic Games in Queues; and Telecommunications Networks and Applications.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss your research ideas and proposals. I look forward to engaging in productive discussions and potentially collaborating on innovative research.
