Debasish Pattanayak

I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Indore. My research focuses on distributed algorithms for mobile agents and mobile robots in graphs and geometric spaces, with interests in exploration, rendezvous, dispersion, pattern formation, and fault tolerance. I also develop interactive simulators for these systems. Before joining IIT Indore, I completed my PhD in Theoretical Computer Science from the Department of Mathematics at IIT Guwahati under the supervision of Prof. Partha Sarathi Mandal and Dr. H. Ramesh. I was a visiting researcher with Prof. Stefan Schmid at the University of Vienna and with Dr. Anisur Rahaman Molla at ISI Kolkata, and then a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Giuseppe F. Italiano at LUISS Guido Carli, with Prof. Andrzej Pelc at UQO, and under the joint supervision of Prof. Nicola Santoro and Prof. Paola Flocchini at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa.
