Professor Pandurangan's research interests are broadly in design and analysis of algorithms and its applications to networks. He is interested in randomized algorithms and stochastic analysis, distributed computing and algorithms, communication networks (especially wireless networks, sensor networks, and peer-to-peer networks), modeling and algorithmic issues in real-world networks (including Internet/Web and social networks), and computational biology.
