EVAN BRODY


I'm a PhD student at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU in the Theoretical Computer Science Group. I am fortunate to be advised by Aaron Bernstein, Anupam Gupta, and Lisa Hellerstein, and supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

I completed my undergraduate in mathematics and computer science at NYU Tandon, during which I am grateful to have been mentored by Lisa Hellerstein.

Feel free to reach out! :)
