Brief Bio

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the STCS group at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, hosted by Arkadev Chattopadhyay, and supported by the Professor R. Narasimhan postdoctoral fellowship. I completed my Ph.D. in theoretical computer science at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, under the guidance of Prof. Meena Mahajan.
Previously, I obtained a Master's degree in Computer Science from IIT Kanpur, advised by Prof. Surender Baswana, and a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from IIT BHU.
I have a broad interest in theoretical computer science, with current research focuses on query complexity, communication complexity, proof complexity, and sketching and sampling algorithms for big data problems.
