Bio: Krishna Jagannathan
obtained his B. Tech. in Electrical Engineering from IIT Madras in 2004, and
the S.M. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2006 and 2010 respectively.
During 2010-2011, he was a visiting post-doctoral scholar in Computing and
Mathematical Sciences at Caltech, and an off-campus post-doctoral fellow at
MIT. Since November 2011, he has been with the Department of Electrical
Engineering, IIT Madras, where he is currently an associate professor. He
worked as a consultant at the Mathematical Sciences Research Center, Bell
Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ in 2005, and as an engineering intern at
Qualcomm, Campbell, CA in 2007. His research interests lie in the stochastic
modeling and analysis of communication networks, transportation networks,
network control, and queuing theory.
Probability Foundations – NPTEL
video course This is a postgraduate level course on probability theory
recorded during July – November 2014 The
lectures can be found here. LaTeX notes for the course can be found here. |
Stochastic Modelling and the
Theory of Queues – NPTEL video course This is a postgraduate level course on discrete stochastic
processes – mainly covering Poisson processes, Renewal processes &
Renewal reward theory, Markov processes and queuing theory. Recorded lectures
to a live class January – March 2020 (before the world shut down) and
completed November 2020 – February 2021 talking to a lone camera in a very
cold studio. The
video lectures can be found here. |
My graduate students belong to the Networks
and Stochastic Systems lab, ESB 218.
