Satish B. Rao is an American computer scientist who is a professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley.^[1]^[2]

Biography

Satish Rao received his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1989 and joined the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley in 1999.^[3]

Research and awards

Rao's research focuses on computational biology, graph partitioning, and single- and multi-commodity flows (maximum flow problem).^[4]

Rao is an ACM Fellow (2013)^[5] and won the Fulkerson Prize with Sanjeev Arora and Umesh Vazirani in 2012 for their work on improving the approximation ratio for graph separators and related problems from $O(\log n)$ to $O({\sqrt {\log n}})$ .^[6]^[7] Rao teaches discrete mathematics and probability theory at the University of California, Berkeley.^[1]

Publications

Satish Rao has published over 100 publications and is cited frequently.^[8]
