Kaave Hosseini

University of Rochester

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Rochester. Previously I was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC San Diego under the supervision of Shachar Lovett. Before that, I did my BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science at Sharif University of Technology, Tehran.

I am interested in theoretical computer science and additive combinatorics. Usually, the problems I work on have to do with approximate algebraic structure and/or pseudorandomness.
