Faculty Bio

Dr. Debasis Dwibedy is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore campus. He received his Ph.D. from Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT), Burla, Odisha. His Ph.D. thesis focuses on computational hardness, algorithmic competitiveness, and fairness in online and semi-online scheduling problems. He completed pre-conference school on algorithms and discrete mathematics at IIT, Kharagpur. Previously, he worked in various academic capacities at VSSUT, Burla, Odisha State Open University, Sambalpur, Odisha, and Maharishi Markandeswar University, Ambala, Haryana. He served as a domain expert in the design of automated task delegation in industrial project management software at Shivam Infosystems, New Delhi. His expertise includes problem formulation, feasibility studies, mathematical modeling, design, and analysis of algorithms.

His current research interests include emerging scheduling problems that arise in offline, online, and semi-online algorithmic frameworks. Specifically, the design of fair-competitive online scheduling algorithms in k-user and m-machine settings. In semi-online scheduling, he focuses on the look-ahead models, where an online algorithm knows the processing time of some future jobs. The following non-trivial research challenge motivates his current work in semi-online scheduling: how much improvement in competitiveness will be gained by considering Lookahead over online scheduling for practically-significant m-machine settings In data science, he is focusing on problems such as high-precision sentiment analysis with application-specific and user-centric recommendations, and applications of geospatial data analytics in healthcare.  In graph theory, he is interested in the design of improved competitive algorithms for online and semi-online rainbow coloring in topology-based graph classes. He has served as a Reviewer for Journals, such as. Omega, an International Journal of Management Science (Elsevier), Computer Science (AGH, Poland), and American Journal of Computer Science and Engineering (Science).  He is an active member of ACM, IEEE, IAENG, ACCS, ASR, SDIWC, EAI, and the European Operational Research Society’s project management and Scheduling research group.

He has published several peer-reviewed articles in highly reputed Journals and Conferences.
