Hi, I'm Shyamal, a fourth year Theory CS PhD student at Columbia. My research interests are in extremal/probabilistic combinatorics, sketching, discrepancy theory, and property testing. More generally, I particularly like the analysis of simple algorithms and crossover techniques between various areas of math and computer science. I am fortunate to be advised by Cliff Stein and Xi Chen and supported by an NSF Graduate Fellowship.
