About Me
Hello! I am Ethan Mader, a Computer Science PhD student at Purdue University. My research focuses on graph algorithms, combinatorial optimization, and randomized algorithms. I am being advised by Kent Quanrud.
I graduated from UC Santa Barbara in Spring 2024 with a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.S. in Mathematics. I love theory, and am hoping to apply my abstract skillset to practical problems.
I am currently searching for summer 2025/2026 internships in quantitative research. Eventually, though, I want to pivot into theoretical industry research in algorithms or quantum computing.
