whomIwouldliketoacknowledge mydeepestgratitude.
MysincerethankstomyadviserProfessorXifengYanforhisguidance, suggestions,
andinvaluableencouragementthroughoutthedevelopmentofthisthesis. Hiscreativity,insight-
ful discussions, and passion for research provided a productive atmosphere for mywork. Iam
verygratefultoProfessorDivyAgrawal,ProfessorAmrAbbadi,ProfessorBenZhao,Professor
Subhash Suri, and Alessandra Sala for their suggestion and help at various phases of my PhD
study. Iowespecial thanks toProfessor JanetKayfetz andProfessor DougBradleyforhelping
meinimprovingmywritingandpresentation skills.
My thanks to all my collaborators for keeping trust in my capabilities. I would like
to express my gratefulness to them: Charu Aggarwal, Shu Tao, Supriyo Chakraborty, Vish-
wakarmaSingh,ShengqiYang,NandishJayaram,MaheshGupta,andProfessorChengkaiLi. I
wanttomentionfourofmycollaboratorsseparately. First,YinghuiWuandFrancescoGullo—
Ienjoyeddiscussingseveralproblemswiththem,andtheyhelpedmealotinimprovingmysci-
entificwritingskill. Second,mysincereanddeepestgratitudetomymentorsFrancescoBonchi
and Aris Gionis for always being my well-wishers. The collaboration started just as a regular
summerinternship—but,thenIlearntalotaboutresearchskillsfromthem. Theyprovidedme
the freedom to think independently, and helped meto improve myself in many different ways.

Evenaftertheinternship, theyarealways veryencouraging, careful, andsupportive ofme—I
hopetocontinue learningfromthem,andcollaborating withthem.
Many thanks to all my Professors and collaborators from my undergraduate years:
ProfessorSubhasNandy,ProfessorDebashishSaha,ProfessorPradipDas,ProfessorLawrence
Jenkins, Professor Dilip Basu, Professor Saswata Sannigrahi, Adway Mitra, and Arpan Roy.
Theywillalwaysremainaninspiration whoinculcated thequestforhigherstudiesinme.
I am very fortunate to have a close circle of friends from my undergraduate days:
SayanBhattacharya,Amitangshu,andShibamouli. SpecificallythankstoRajdeepSau,Alessan-
dro, Francois, andDanielVaquero–whobecamegoodfriends, andmadelifeatSantaBarbara
enjoyable forme.
Last but not least, my family, relatives, and cousins. I would have had no chance
to complete my studies without the love, support, and encouragement of my younger brother
Surajit,myparentsBinaandRampada: acknowledging themisneverenough.
