Hi, I'm Mithilesh Kumar.

I am fascinated by the role of quantum mechanics in computation. My research spans parameterized algorithms, kernelization, cryptography, coding theory, and quantum information. Currently, my work focuses on the mathematics of quantum information theory, particularly quantum channels and quantum entanglement theory. I have briefly served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Dayananda Sagar University. My postdoctoral research at Simula-UiB, Norway, explored post-quantum cryptography, while my Ph.D. research at the University of Bergen, Norway, focused on parameterized algorithms. I hold dual master’s degrees—one in Computer Science from the Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI) and another in Physics from IIT Kanpur. Beyond research, I am passionate about mathematical problem-solving and education. I have developed two web applications:

• Mathril: A platform that generates mathematics practice problems for school students.
• Vectorial: A tool for creating SVG diagrams with LaTeX support, particularly useful for researchers.

Additionally, I have integrated a browser-based editor for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, furthering my interest in leveraging technology for education and research.
