Subhash Khot is an Indian-American theoretical computer scientist who has made significant contributions to the field of computational complexity theory. He was born in 1977 in India and pursued his higher education in computer science. He obtained his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2003. Subhash Khot is most well-known for his work on the Unique Games Conjecture, which is a hypothesis in computational complexity theory. The Unique Games Conjecture has implications for the hardness of certain computational problems, and it has been the focus of much research and debate in the theoretical computer science community.
