Hello!

I am Mandar, a fourth-year PhD student in computer science at Boston University originally from Pune, India. My PhD advisor is Mark Bun. Before joining BU I was an undergrad at the University of Rochester, where I studied mathematics and computer science.

My CV.  Here

My academic interests.  I am broadly interested in theoretical computer science, though my current work focuses on computational complexity, cryptography, and learning theory. My projects at the moment involve (a) approximate degree and quantum query and communication complexity, (b) connections between metacomplexity and cryptography, and (c) metacomplexity as a tool to get efficient learning algorithms.

Other things I enjoy.  Playing music (on a piano), listening to music, recording and producing music; making and drinking coffee; cooking; teaching; riding bikes; playing tennis.
