Rachana Madhukara
I am a senior at MIT, studying Mathematics and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I am interested in combinatorics and its applications to theoretical computer science, for example in Information Theory. I am fortunate to be advised
by Prof. Henry Cohn.
Outside of academics, I enjoy typesetting with LaTeX and having thoughtful discussions with people! Please feel free to drop me a line anytime.

Outreach and Teaching
Teaching and mentoring are very important to me. Here are a few of the organizations I have been involved with.
|
I am a mentor for the MIT PRIMES Circle. I have taught graph theory for the past two years.
|
|
I was a research mentor for the Research Science Institute (RSI) during the summer of 2022. I supervised a project in number theory.
|
|
I was a teaching assistant at Euler Circle. I have assisted in the Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra classes, and Proofs from the BOOK classes.
|
|
I am the president of MIT's Undergraduate Society of Women in Mathematics (USWIM).
|
|
I am one of the founders of the Virtual San Diego Math Circle, or vSDMC. We created a virtual math circle experience for students in the Greater San Diego area in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also organized the Virtual San Diego Math League, or vSDML, in the fall of 2020.

I have been learning Carnatic music for 15+ years and fencing casually for the past couple years. I fence foil and although I am definitely partial, I must say that foil is the best weapon!
