I'm Kishen

I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I am fortunate to be advised by Laxman Dhulipala and Aravind Srinivasan. Prior to joining UMD, I completed my bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar.

My research focuses on designing efficient and scalable parallel algorithms for graph-theoretic and combinatorial optimization problems. I am particularly interested in clustering algorithms and their theoretical foundations, as well as fast, practical implementations that power large-scale vector and multi-vector retrieval and related applications.
