Gaurav Rattan joined the MOR-DMMP group at the University of Twente as an Assistant Professor in May 2024. Previously, he was a postdoc at TU Darmstadt (Germany) in the group of Pascal Schweitzer and a DFG Eigene Stelle researcher at RWTH Aachen (Germany) in the group of Martin Grohe. He obtained a PhD in Theoretical Computer Science at IMSc Chennai (India) and a Bachelors in Technology at IIT Bombay (India).
His current research is centered on the mathematical foundations of machine learning on graphs and discrete structures, with the goal of facilitating a theory-driven approach to the design of graph learning systems. He is also interested in practical applications of graph learning tools such as graph neural networks (GNNs) to real-world applications such as optimization, bioinformatics and databases.
