Thomas Satyaprakash Anantharaman, an Indian computer statistician specializing in Bayesian inference approaches for NP complete problems. Anantharaman is known for his work with Feng-hsiung Hsu from 1985-1990 on ChipTest and Deep Thought at Carnegie Mellon University and the implementation of Singular Extensions. His 1990 PhD Dissertation was about: A Statistical Study of Selective Min-Max Search in Computer Chess. Currently Thomas Anantharaman is working as Senior Bioinformatics Software Engineer at Opgen, Inc, Madison, Wisconsin.
