About Me

Hello! My name is Shyam Ravichandran and I am a Mathematics Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois Chicago. During my Ph.D., I am currently exploring problems in Probability and Theoretical Computer Science, but these interests are ever-changing. I recently completed my undergrad at Purdue University where I double majored Applied Mathematics and Statistics while completing a certificate in Data Science. Outside of school, my hobbies include watching and playing basketball, listening to music and collecting records, and car spotting.
