Mohit Daga

SummaryDuring my graduate studies, I have worked on foundation questions on parallel and distributed computing, leading to publications in top venues, inlcuding ACM-STOC. I have experience in foundations of algorithms using various optimizations methods. Recently, I had the opportunity to supervise 12 master thesis projects at KTH - Royal Institute of technology, Sweden across various domains. These included projects in Machine Learning, AI, and also GPU Programming.

Publication Summary One Patent, five research articles, and one manuscript under preparation.

Technical Skills C/C++, Python, Matlab, Tensorflow, CUDA etc

Internships and Work Experience.

• Research Engineer @ KTH.  I work at KTH as a research engineer. Apart from research, my tasks are also to supervise degree projects in second cycle (master thesis). These include wide variety of topics.
• Research Internship @ IMDEA Networks Lab.I was hosted by Prof. Antonio Fernandez Anta, and Dr. Jaya Prakash Varma Champati during May-July 2023. This research visit was supported by a scholarship from the foundation for scientific research and education at KTH.
• Research Internship @ Xerox Research Center India, Bengaluru, KA, India.During this internship, I worked on Optimal Resource Allocation in Business Process in a Crowd-Sourcing setting. I implemented a BPMN Parser and developed a FPTAS (Fully Polynomial time approximation scheme) based algorithm to solve the problem. This research work was patented by Xerox.
• Google Summer of Code.I was selected for the open source program run by Google. I worked with BRL-CAD (An open-source solid modeling System) and developed an Image Processing Library for them. I was awarded the google summer code stipend of 5000 USD,

Trust Commission Position.

• In the year 2020, I took a break from my doctoral studies to work at the PhD chapter of KTH. I was elected to be a member of the top decision bodies of KTH including the KTH Faculty Council (Fakultetsrådet, FR) and Board of Education (Utbildningsnämnden, UR).
