Assistant Professor

vaishnavi.gujjula@iiitb.ac.in

Education : Ph.D. (IIT Madras)

Vaishnavi Gujjula holds a Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (Advisor: Dr. Sivaram Ambikasaran, 2023). Her Ph.D. thesis focused on developing fast algorithms that are based on principles from scientific computing and numerical linear algebra. These fast algorithms have applications in solving partial differential equations (PDEs) and developing scalable machine learning algorithms. After receiving her Ph.D., she worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Indian Institute of Science from 2023 to 2024. Her work has been published in various reputed international journals (SISC, JCP, CiCP, and Numerical Algorithms) and conferences (SIAM AN, ILAS, CIKM, IEEE APS). 

 

Before joining IIITB, she worked as an Assistant Professor at PES University (Bangalore, 2024-2025). Even earlier, she had worked for Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL, Bangalore, 2014-2016). 

 

Her research interests include computational mathematics, fast algorithms, numerical linear algebra, and scalable machine learning. Currently, she is particularly interested in scientific machine learning and scalable machine learning algorithms.
