Biography: 

Aravind Srinivasan is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Computer Science.

His research interests include randomized algorithms, networking, social networks, and combinatorial optimization, as well as the growing confluence of algorithms, networks, and randomness in society, including the fields of social media and public health. He has published several papers in these areas in journals including Nature, the Journal of the ACM, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, and the SIAM Journal on Computing.

Srinivasan is an editor of four journals and has served on the program committees of various conferences. He was a co-recipient of the Best Student Paper Award at ACM STOC 1992, and received an IBM Graduate Fellowship during his doctoral studies.

Srinivasan is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Fellow, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and a Fellow of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS).

Srinivasan received his undergraduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, and his doctorate from Cornell University, both in computer science. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at DIMACS. Additionally, Srinivasan has worked in industrial research at Bell Labs.
