Hello there! My name is Shayan Daijavad. I'm a 4th year Computer Science Major at Cal Poly SLO.

My strengths are in graph theory and algorithm design and complexity. I am currently involved in two research projects, one relating to migration networks, and the other to Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms. I also tutor at the Cal Poly CSSE Tutoring Center.
