Shuchi Chawla is an Indian computer scientist who works in the design and analysis of algorithms, [1] and is known for her research on correlation clustering, [CC] information privacy, [PD] mechanism design, [MD] approximation algorithms, [AO] hardness of approximation, [HA] and algorithmic bias. [2] She works as a professor of computer science at the University of Texas at Austin. [3]
Chawla earned a bachelor's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in 2000, [1] [4] and received her Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University in 2005. Her dissertation, Graph Algorithms for Planning and Partitioning, was supervised by Avrim Blum. [5] After postdoctoral studies at Stanford University under the mentorship of Tim Roughgarden, [6] and at Microsoft Research, Silicon Valley, she joined the Wisconsin faculty in 2006. [4] . She joined the UT-Austin faculty in 2021. She won a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2009, [7] and was named a Kavli Fellow in 2012. [8]
