Chandra Chekuri is a Member of Technical Staff (MTS) at
Bell Labs
of Lucent Technologies, Murray Hill, New Jersey. He joined the labs after
finishing his Ph.D. in Computer Science from
Stanford University
under the supervision of
Rajeev Motwani.
Before that he obtained his B.Tech. degree in
Computer Science and Engineering from the
Indian Institute of Technology,
Madras (now Chennai). He is primarily interested in algorithms
for discrete optimization problems with current research focussing
on approximation algorithms.
He has worked on various real world problems at
Bell Labs and appreciates the difficulty in finding the right
balance between theory and practice. He grew up for the most part
in the town of Rajahmundry on the banks of the beautiful river
Godavari.
