Ritesh Goenka
I am a DPhil student in Mathematics at the University of Oxford since October 2023, advised by Professor Peter Keevash. My research interests lie in discrete mathematics, particularly at the interface of probability and combinatorics, encompassing areas such as discrete probability and probabilistic combinatorics.
Previously, I completed my master's studies at the University of British Columbia and my bachelor's studies at IIT Bombay, where I explored problems in complexity of algorithms, discrete and convex geometry, computational geometry, and number theory.
