Sofya Raskhodnikova

Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University

My research interests include sublinear-time algorithms (in particular, property testing), private data analysis, approximation algorithms, randomized algorithms, coding theory and complexity theory. I am a member of the theory group. I got my PhD from MIT in 2003. From the fall of 2003 to 2006, I worked at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Weizmann Institute of Science and the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics.

If you are interested in joining our CSE graduate program, please look at http://www.cse.psu.edu/academics/graduate/ for information on admission and a description of the program. Research assistanships are available for strong candidates interested in working in algorithms and theory. Make sure to indicate "algorithms" or "theoretical computer science" or the name of a faculty member you are interested in working with if you want our group to consider you. Our department receives many applications, and I cannot review all of them personally.

New! If you are interested in a postdoc position, email me.
