Dr. Sayan Bandyapadhyay joined the Dept. of Computer Science at Portland State University as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2022. He was a postdoctoral researcher in the Algorithms Research Group at the University of Bergen, Norway, where he worked with Prof. Fedor Fomin, Prof. Saket Saurabh, and Prof. Petr Golovach. His current research interests are mainly in Algorithms: Algorithmic fairness, Approximation Algorithms, Parameterized Algorithms, Exact (exponential time) Algorithms, Computational Geometry, Discrete Geometry, Graph Algorithms, and Optimization. Prior to moving to Norway, he finished his PhD from the University of Iowa, where he was supervised by Prof. Kasturi Varadarajan. He has secured his M.Tech (CS) degree from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. To know more check out his Linkedin, and Blog.
