Nisheeth Vishnoi is a faculty member of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. He is also an associate of the International Center for Theoretical Sciences, Bangalore, an adjunct faculty member of IIT Delhi and IIT Kanpur, and a co-founder of the Computation, Nature, and Society ThinkTank. His research focuses on foundational problems in algorithms, optimization, statistics, and complexity, and how tools from these areas can be used to address emerging algorithmic questions in society, nature, and machine learning. Topics from these areas that he is currently interested in include algorithmic bias, understanding emergent behavior in natural systems, and developing algorithms that can go beyond the worst-case in machine learning. He is the recipient of the Best Paper Award at FOCS 2005, the IBM Research Pat Goldberg Memorial Award for 2006, the Indian National Science Academy Young Scientist Award for 2011 and the IIT Bombay Young Alumni Achievers Award for 2016.
