Madhusudhan Reddy Pittu

I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, starting September 2025, where I work with Anupam Gupta.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in the Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization (ACO) program, advised by Anupam Gupta and, during my final year, David P. Woodruff. Prior to that, I earned my B.Tech. in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur.

My research interests lie broadly in Theoretical Computer Science, with a focus on Approximation Algorithms, Online Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization. I am particularly interested in problems with a geometric flavor.

Outside of research, I enjoy reflecting on philosophical questions, watching movies.
