Teaching

CS425: Computer Networks

This CS departmental elective course introduces the fundamentals of computer networking.

ESC101: Fundamentals of Computing

This institute core course introduces all undergraduates students of IIT Kanpur to the fundamentals of computer programming.

CS712 (erst CS698A): Selected Areas of Mechanism Design

This course deals with some selected advanced topics of mechanism design. This is a more research-oriented course and has both lecture and seminar sessions. A prerequisite for this course is CS711.

Guest lectures in ESC101: A short course on Python

This course introduces the basics of python programming and helps building blocks for scientific computing. The goal is to equip the students with a tool that can help check ideas computationally in a minimum amount of time and effort.

Comp271: Scientific Computing using Python

Algorithms and programming course for masters students in quantitative economics -- offered at ISI Delhi, Aug-Nov, 2014.

    • Academic and Professional Activities

    Softwares and Scripts

    I have written a Python script that runs the Gale-Shapley deferred acceptance algorithm to match students to advisors. It can as well be used for matching students to schools / departments having a fixed capacity. A sample output is here. The whole project is on GitHub. The Facebook page for this app.

    Gurobi is an excellent tool for optimization. What's better is that they offer a free academic license. The setting up is a bit complicated though, hope this writeup helps.
