Education : Ph.D. (IISc Bangalore)

Naganand Yadati holds a PhD in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Science, awarded in 2021. He specialises in machine learning and deep learning with expertise in graph neural networks and hypergraphs. His PhD focused on novel extensions of graph neural networks to hypergraphs. Before joining IIIT-Bangalore, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the National University of Singapore, where he focused on simplified models for graph learning. His research has resulted in multiple publications at premier venues, including NeurIPS, ICDM, and TMLR.
