Raj Kamal

I am a Lecturer at Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT), Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. I completed my PhD from the Computer Science and Engineering Department at IIT Delhi, under the supervision of Dr. Amitabha Bagchi. My research interests include Spectral Hypergraph Theory, Personalized PageRank, Machine Learning, and Local Clustering.

Research Interests

My research focuses on advanced algorithms in graph theory, with a special emphasis on:

• Spectral Hypergraph Theory: This area explores the spectral properties of hypergraphs, which generalize graphs by allowing edges (hyperedges) to connect more than two vertices. The focus is on developing algorithms to efficiently analyze the structure of hypergraphs and study their eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and their application to problems such as community detection and clustering in high-dimensional data.
• Personalized PageRank: A variation of the traditional PageRank algorithm that tailors the ranking of nodes in a hypergraph based on a user's personalized query.
• Local Clustering: Methods for finding clusters or communities in large-scale hypergraphs that are locally sensitive and computationally efficient.

Honors and Awards

• I received Venkat Padmanabhan Doctoral Fellowship during PhD.
• I have been awarded the Prof. M M Chawla Gold Medal for securing the highest DGPA amongst all graduates of M.Tech. in Computer Applications at IIT Delhi in 2015.
• I obtained all India rank 19 in Gate (Mathematics) in 2013.
• I obtained all India rank 184 in UGC + CSIR (NET + JRF) in Mathematics (December 2009).
