Shyam Narayanan

I am a quantitative researcher at Citadel Securities.

Previously, I was a Ph.D. student in MIT's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, working in Theoretical Computer Science. I had the great privilege to be advised by Piotr Indyk, and was also very fortunate to work closely with Sam Hopkins and Ronitt Rubinfeld at MIT. My research focused on problems from a variety of areas in algorithms and theoretical computer science, including algorithmic statistics, differential privacy, clustering, property testing, learning theory, etc.

As a Ph.D. student, I was an intern at Microsoft Research (Algorithms Group), where I was supervised by Sepideh Mahabadi and Jakub Tarnawski, and at Google Research, where I was supervised by Hossein Esfandiari, Vahab Mirrokni, and Peilin Zhong. I was also supported by a Google PhD Fellowship, and was hosted by Vincent Cohen-Addad and Pasin Manurangsi.

Before coming to MIT, I was an undergraduate at Harvard, where I received a Master's degree in Statistics and a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science. During my undergraduate years, I was very fortunate to be advised by Professor Jelani Nelson, Professor Joe Gallian, and Professor Barry Mazur.
