DMMP welcomes Gaurav Rattan

Gaurav Rattan joined the DMMP group as a new staff member in May 2024. Gaurav is specialized on graphs and networks, in particular, the study of classic computational problems on graphs using mathematical techniques such as logic and algebra. He will work on the mathematical foundations of machine learning on graphs and discrete structureswith the goal of facilitating a theory-driven analysis and design of graph learning systems. Along the way, he will also explore the practical applications of graph learning tools such as graph neural networks (GNNs) to real-world applications such as optimization, bioinformatics and databases. Welcome aboard!
