Anisur Rahaman Molla

Anisur Rahaman Molla is an Associate Professor at the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in Kolkata, India, affiliated with the Cryptology and Security Research Unit (CSRU) and the R. C. Bose Centre for Cryptology and Security. His work spans distributed computing, network algorithms, and mobile robotics, with a focus on fault tolerance and Byzantine agreement.

Education:

• PhD in Computer Science from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (2014)
• M.Tech in Computer Science from ISI Kolkata (2010)
• M.Sc in Pure Mathematics from Calcutta University (2007)
• B.Sc in Mathematics (Honors) from Calcutta University (2005)

Research Trends: His recent work emphasizes mobile agent algorithms for tasks like dispersion, leader election, and graph traversal, with applications in fault-tolerant systems and dynamic networks. Papers frequently address message complexity, Byzantine resilience, and optimization in unoriented/oriented grids.

Scientific Awards:

• Best Contributor Award (PhD Forum), ICDCN 2013

Advising: Supervised Prabhat Kumar Chand (current PhD student at ISI) and graduated Manish Kumar (PhD, ISI 2023). Co-supervised master's and bachelor's theses at the University of Freiburg and ISI.

Labs & Collaborations: Works within the CSRU and R. C. Bose Centre at ISI. Collaborates with institutions like IIT Madras, University of Freiburg, and ETH Zürich.
