Vinay Kumar B. R.

I am a post-doctoral researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology working with Nelly Litvak and Remco van der Hofstad. I am funded by the NETWORKS COFUND program. Prior to this, I spent two beautiful years in INRIA Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée working with Konstantin Avrachenkov in the NEO team. I did my Ph.D. in the Department of ECE at the Indian Institute of Science under the guidance of Navin Kashyap. My thesis was titled “Probabilistic Forwarding of Coded Packets for Broadcasting over Networks”.

Broadly, my research falls in the area of random graphs and network science. I am interested in problems that involve a graph structure and complex interactions between the network elements. My research goal is to propose and analyze robust mathematical models that capture different physical phenomena observed on practical networks.
