Assistant ProfessorChandruka New Faculty FellowEmail:pgolia@cse.iitd.ac.inBharti 415, CSE, IITD Research Statement
I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at IIT Delhi. Prior to that, I was faculty at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security. I completed Ph.D. in a joint degree program with Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India and National University of Singapore, advised by Kuldeep S. Meel and Subhajit Roy.
My research interests lie at the intersection of formal methods and artificial intelligence. In particular, my work so far has focused on designing scalable automated synthesis and testing techniques. I am the lead designer of the state-of-the-art functional synthesis engine, Manthan, which combines advances in machine learning, constrained sampling, and automated reasoning to achieve significant scalability. Check out my Research Statement for more details.
I am actively recruiting graduate students to work with. Check out [Open Positions].
