I am looking for two Ph.D. candidates working with me from Fall 2021 (application due by December 15, 2020). I am mainly interested in theoretical computer science; some core focus areas include:
Graph Algorithms
Metric Embedding
Distributed Computing
Successful candidates will have the freedom to explore other theoretically-motivated research topics and will be part of our amazing theory group. An ideal candidate should have a solid background in mathematics. Having awards in math/programming competitions is a big plus. GRE is NOT required for PhD applications.
