I'm Krish.

I am a research scientist in the Symbolic Computation group at the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Johannes Kepler University in 2024, with my thesis awarded the highest grade of Sehr gut. I completed my Master's degree in Advanced Combinatorics at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2021 and a B.Sc. (Honors) in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Chennai Mathematical Institute in 2019.

My primary research interests lie in the fields of Combinatorics and Discrete Geometry. I recently solved an open problem of Erdős.

I travel often. To date, I have been to 41 countries.

When I am not doing math or traveling, I like to hit the gym. On weekends, I often go hiking. I also enjoy pushing my limits through extreme sports.

Whether I’m in the office, at the gym, or on a flight, my earphones are always with me. From Chopin to Zimmer, there’s always someone in my ears.
