Welcome to DasGupta's Creative Algorithms Lab

History

The lab has been around since 2004. Bulk of its initial funding was provided by NSF (CAREER) grant IIS-0346973 over a five year period. Other past supporting NSF grants include DBI-0543365, CCR-0296041, CNS-020679, CCF-0208749, IIS-1160995, DBI-1062328 and CCF-1216096. Right now, the lab is funded by the following NSF grants:

• IIS-1814931

Location

Room 1228B SEL (West)

Mission

Our goal is to understand fundamental algorithmic complexity of problems that arise in several different interdisciplinary areas such as biology, physics, mathematics, control theory, finance and economics. We believe in free dissemination of scientific information.
