Rajat Bhattacharjee

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2008. My advisor was Prof. Ashish Goel. My thesis was on algorithms and incentives for reputation systems. This is my homepage from my graduate student days. I continue to maintain this homepage.

I did my B.Tech. (1997-2001) at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur. My undergraduate thesis was on primality testing under the supervision of Prof. Manindra Agrawal.
