I'm Krish.

I am joining Higher School of Economics as a Research Fellow at the Faculty of Mathematics from September 2025. From 2021 to 2025 I was a Research Scientist at the RICAM, of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. My primary research interests are Combinatorics, Discrete Geometry and Graph theory. I recently solved a problem posed by Paul Erdős.

I earned my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz in 2024, where my thesis was awarded the highest grade (Sehr gut). Prior to this, I completed my Master’s degree in Advanced Combinatorics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) in 2021 and a B.Sc. (Honors) in Mathematics and Computer Science from Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI) in 2019.

I’m a globetrotter at heart, having explored 41 countries (and counting). When I’m not solving math problems or jet-setting to new destinations, you’ll find me pushing my limits—whether I'm at the gym, on a hiking trail, or diving into extreme sports.

Music fuels every moment. From the timeless elegance of Chopin to the epic soundscapes of Zimmer, there’s always a soundtrack to my life—whether I’m in the office, on a flight, or chasing my next adventure.
