Saugata Basu works in computational and real algebraic geometry, developing mathematical theory and algorithms for analyzing shapes and equations defined by polynomials (algebraic expressions involving powers of variables). This includes studying the complexity of computations on these shapes, topics like optimization (finding best solutions under constraints) and topological data analysis (methods for understanding the shape of complex data, including applications to biological 'omics' data). This work is largely theoretical/mathematical, with some recent applications to data science and quantum computing.
