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.
