Welcome to my webpage. I am Varun Ramamohan, and I am
an Associate Professor in the Department of
Mechanical Engineering at the Indian
Institute of Technology Delhi. I am part of the Production and Industrial
Engineering group within the Mechanical Engineering department, and my research and teaching
interests broadly lie in the areas of industrial engineering and operations
research.
Research Group
I am almost *always* looking for motivated individuals
with a strong interest and background in mathematics (linear algebra,
probability, some operations research) and programming (Python, Matlab, etc.) to join my group – especially as PhD
students. Feel free to send me an email if interested.

BTech students
I enjoy working with motivated BTech students from IIT
Delhi. However, I prefer working on longer-term projects (i.e., longer than a
semester) so that meaningful output can be generated. Therefore, please express
interest in working with me (via email) only if you are willing to commit to
working with me for at least 6 months.
