Suhansanu Kumar

I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I work under the supervision of Prof Hari Sundaram on network sampling, network modeling and graph-mining projects. I obtained my Bachelors in Computer Science & Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur.

I am broadly interested in graph mining, reinforcement learning and machine learning. My current research focuses on understanding the impact of graph sampling on downstream data analysis tasks.
