Dr. Rajni received her PhD in computer science from Thapar University, Patiala in 2013. She obtained her Master's degree in mathematics and computing from Thapar University, Patiala in 2009. At present she is working as Associate Professor in Computer Science & Engineering Department, Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management, Mangalore, Karnataka. Previously, she worked as Assistant Professor, Computer Science & Engineering Department, LNMIIT,
Jaipur. Before joining LNMIIT, She was Post-Doctorate Fellow in INRIA, France and Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. She has published her research work in highly reputed scientific citation index journals. She won “Microsoft Azure” educator grand award and got manyscholarship to attend international conferences like Grace hopper celebration of women in computing sponsored by Google.
Her research interests lie in algorithm aspects of resource provisioning, and scheduling in Grid and Cloud computing and other areas of interest are heuristic algorithms and formal methods.
