ACO PhD Student, Georgia Tech

Ijay Narang

I am a first-year PhD student in the Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization (ACO) program within the School of Computing at Georgia Tech, where I am advised by Dr. Will Perkins. I am interested in: Applied Probability, Statistical Physics, and Machine Learning.

I completed my undergraduate studies at Princeton University, where I majored in Computer Science and minored in Applied Mathematics, Optimization, and Finance. During this time, I was fortunate to be advised by Dr. Pedro Paredes and Dr. Noga Alon.
