Bhavana Kanukurthi

I recently graduated from the Computer Science Department at BU, after several fun years of

being a graduate student there. At BU, I had the honor of being advised by Prof. Leonid Reyzin.

As of Summer 2011, I am a post-doc at UCLA with Prof. Rafail Ostrovsky.

I spent Summer '09 as an intern at Bell Labs, working with Dr. Vlad Kolesnikov,

and Summer '10 as an intern at MSR New England, working with Dr. Yael Kalai.
