Raja Sunkara

I am a second year PhD student in the Computer Science department at Missouri S&T, advised by Prof. Ardhendu Tripathy. Additionally, I am a member of the Statistical Machine Learning Lab. My research interests broadly include machine learning, signal processing, and optimization. Currently, I am working on developing sequential decision making algorithms for multi-armed bandits and black-box optimization.

Previously, I obtained my Master’s thesis from Missouri S&T under the guidance of Prof. Thomas Tie Luo. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, where my thesis project was supervised by Prof. Ranjith Mohan. In industry, I worked as a Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Research Engineer, and R&D Data Scientist at Enfrien Innovations, Agrometrics, Matdun Labs, and Alcon, respectively.
