About me

My name is Dragos Ristache and I’m currently a PhD student at Boston University. I am grateful to be advised by Krzysztof Onak. I did my undergraduate at University of Southampton, then did a masters at Cornell University and worked in industry for a few years before returning to pursue my PhD.

I am broadly interested in theoretical computer science, with a focus on graphs and sublinear algorithms.
