Dhanyamol Antony is an Assistant Professor in the School of Data Science at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Thiruvananthapuram (IISER TVM). Before joining IISER TVM, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Graph Theory and Combinatorics group, under the supervision of Prof. L Sunil Chandran in the Department of Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, from February 2023 to August 2024. I received Ph.D. in Theoretical Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology Calicut under the supervision of Prof. R Subashini in 2023. I was a Research Intern at IIT Dharwad under the supervision of Prof. Sandeep R. B in 2021. Prior to Ph.D., I received a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, and a Master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Kerala.
I am broadly interested in the design and analysis of algorithms and theoretical computer science. My current research focus is on Algorithms and Graph Theory. In particular, I am interested in the structural aspects of graphs and its algorithmic implications. My PhD thesis titled “On the Computational Complexity of Graph Modification to H-free graphs” encompasses two types of edge modification problems: Subgraph Complementation and Seidel's Switching. In both these problems, the focus was on obtaining P versus NP-Complete complexity dichotomies on various graph classes by using the structural properties of these graph classes.
