I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago hosted by the TRIPODS Institute for Foundations of Data Science.
I have recently received my PhD in Computer Science from Rutgers University under the supervision of Swastik Kopparty. Before Rutgers, I spent two years at Chennai Mathematical Institute.
I am broadly interested in Discrete Mathematics, Probability, Algorithms, Coding Theory, and the Mathematical Foundations of Data Science.

I organzed a mini-workshop on some recent applications of graph container methods.
I gave a talk at the STOC 2020 workshop on Recent advances in Discrepancy and Applications on discrepancy of random and pseudorandom hypergraphs. Slides are available in the link.
