Faculty

	Y. Narahari Y. Narahari has a Ph.D. from the Department of CSA, IISc (1988), M.E. from CSA, IISc (1984), and B.E. from ECE, IISc (1982). He has been on the faculty of CSA since February 1988. The focus of his research in the last decade has been to explore problems at the interface of computer science and game theory. He has just completed a textbook entitled "Game Theory and Mechanism Design" brought out by the IISc Press and the World Scientific Publishing Company. He is a fellow of the IEEE and a J.C. Bose Fellow of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. He is a Fellow of INSA (Indian National Science Academy), IASc (Indian Academy of Sciences), INAE (Indian National Academy of Engineering), and the National Academy of Science India (NASI).
	N. Viswanadham N. Viswanadham is INSA Senior Scientist in the Computer Science and Automation at the Indian Institute of Science. He was Professor and Executive Director for The Center of Excellence Global Logistics And Manufacturing Strategies in the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, India during 2006-2011. He was Deputy Executive Director of The Logistics Institute-Asia Pacific and also Professor in Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering at the National University of Singapore during 1998-2005. He was a faculty member at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore from 1967-1998. He was Chairman of the Department of Computer Science and Automation from 1990-96 and Chairman of Electrical Sciences Division from 97-98.
	S. Barman Siddharth Barman in the Department of Computer Science and Automation and Ramanujan Fellow at the Indian Institute of Science. Before joining IISc, he was a post-doctoral scholar at Caltech. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His interests lie in the design, analysis, and applications of algorithms. My current research focuses on algorithmic game theory and approximation algorithms.
