Rajesh Chitnis has joined the ERC project “Small Summaries for Big Data” as a postdoctoral research fellow, under the supervision of Professor Graham Cormode. Dr Chitnis has made foundational contributions to the area of data summarization and fixed parameter tractability, most notably his work on the complexity of graph problems in various models.  Prior to joining Warwick, Rajesh completed his PhD at the University of Maryland College Park, and spent time as a researcher at the Weizman Institute.  He will work on problems relating to the intersection of streaming, distributed computation, and kernelization.
