Tanmoy Chakraborty

I am a doctoral student in the Computer and Information Science Department at the School of Engineering and Applied Science of the University of Pennsylvania. I joined the doctoral program in Fall 2006. My doctoral advisors are Prof. Sanjeev Khanna and Prof. Michael Kearns.

Before joining the doctoral program at Penn, I completed my undergraduate in Mathematics from Chennai Mathematical Institute, India. Before that, I finished my schooling from my hometown Durgapur in the state of West Bengal, India, from St. Xaviers School and DAV Model School.
