Raghavan Komondoor

I obtained my PhD from the Computer Sciences Department of the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and am currently an Assistant Professor at the Dept. of Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore.

Here is my web page at IISc, which I update more regularly.


Research Interests

My research interests are broadly in the areas of Programming Languages and Software Engineering. I am particularly interested in developing tools and techniques that help programmers understand and transform programs quickly and reliably.

Miscellaneous links

I recently installed Knoppix (Linux) on my Thinkpad T42 laptop. Here is some information on how I configured various aspects of the system after installation.

Personal Background

I am from the state of Tamil Nadu, in India. I obtained my Bachelor's degree from Government College of Technology, Coimbatore, India, and my Master's degree from Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai. I use the name K V Raghavan in India. I did two years of my schooling in Kenya (1982-1984), where I went to Rusinga House School in Nairobi.
