Dr Abuthahir Abdulrahuman earned a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Anna University. After completing his undergraduate degree, he worked as a software engineer at Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS) for five years. He then joined IIT Madras, where he completed his MS (by research) and PhD in the area of communication networks, at the Department of Electrical Engineering. Following his PhD, he pursued postdoctoral research at Krea University.

Dr Abdulrahuman’s modelling research interests are centred around the design and performance evaluation of large-scale communication networks like the Internet. His research interests in applied mathematics include control theory, bifurcation theory, queuing systems with delayed feedback, and non-linear time-delay dynamical systems.
