Chandrashekar Radhakrishnan

Chandrashekar Radhakrishnan is a Visiting Associate Professor of Practice in Computer Science at NYU Shanghai. He received his PhD from the University of Madras and worked as Postdoctoral Fellow at NCHU in Taiwan and NYU Shanghai. He worked as an Associate Professor at Ecole d’ Ingenieurs du monde numerique (ESIEA) and as Principal Scientist at the Center for Quantum Information, Communication and Computing at IIT Madras. His research interests are in the field of quantum information theory, quantum computing, mathematical physics and statistical mechanics. 

Research

Chandrashekar Radhakrishnan has done research in diverse areas like statistical mechanics, group theory and quantum information and computing.  His current research is in the field of quantum information theory, particularly in the field of setting up measures of quantum correlations and quantum entanglement.  The measures he has proposed has been verified experimentally by other research groups. 

He is a regular referee for several prestigious journals like Physical Review Letters, Physical Review and Quantum Information Processing.  He has published around 30 research papers in journals, some of them in top journals like Physical Review Letters and Nature Partner Journal (npj) Quantum Information.
