Indyk received the Magister degree from the Uniwersytet Warszawski in 1995 and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2000 under the supervision of Rajeev Motwani.[1] In 2000, Indyk joined MIT where he currently holds the title of Associate Professor with Tenure in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.[2]
Indyk's research focuses primarily on computational geometry in high-dimensions, streaming algorithms, and computational learning theory. He has made a range of contributions to these fields, particularly in the study of low-distortion embeddings, algorithmic coding theory, and geometric and combinatorial pattern matching. He has also made contributions to the theory of compressed sensing.
In 2000, Indyk was awarded the Best Student Paper Award at FOCS. In 2002 he received the Career Award from the National Science Foundation, and in 2003 he received a Packard Fellowship from the Packard Foundation and a Sloan Fellowship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
