Hi, I am Kumar Saurav, a PhD graduate from the School of Technology and Computer Science at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai.  I recently defended my PhD thesis, titled "Online Age-of-Information Scheduling", prepared under the guidance of Dr. Rahul Vaze. My research interests are broadly in the areas of online algorithms, communication networks, optimization, information theory, and machine learning. 

Before joining TIFR, I did my MTech (Electrical Engineering) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar (2016-18), where I worked with Dr. Uttama Lahiri. I did my BTech (Electrical Engineering) at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Patna (2012-16).
