COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Podder and some undergrad colleagues run a charity (AALO) which helps underprivileged students in India.
Supartha is interested in quantum and classical complexity theory. His main research interest is to explore how and when quantum computation outperforms classical computation. He is also interested in quantum cryptography, in particular in the interplay between complexity theory and cryptography.
