Hi, I am Ajinkya Gaikwad! 👋

I recently completed my Ph.D. in Theoretical Computer Science under the supervision of Prof. Soumen Maity and Co-supervision of Prof. Saket Saurabh at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune. Here is a link to my CV.

My research interests broadly lie in algorithms on graphs, parameterized complexity, graph theory, and combinatorics. 

In October 2025, I will be joining the G2OAT research group at the Czech Technical University in Prague as a postdoctoral researcher. I am excited to explore new directions in algorithmic game theory during my postdoctoral work.
