Sushant Agarwal

I am a graduate student in the Computer Science department at Northeastern University, where I am advised by Jonathan Ullman. Prior to this, I graduated with a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo, where I was advised by Shai Ben-David. Previously, I did my Bachelor's in Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science from Chennai Mathematical Institute.

I am broadly interested in theoretical machine learning, and have recently been focusing on ethical issues that arise in machine learning models, such as fairness, interpretability, privacy, and robustness. I am motivated by problems that are theoretically challenging, while also being practically relevant.
