About Me

I am a 4th Year PhD Student in the Theory group at Pennsylvania State University working with Dr. Adam D. Smith. I plan to graduate by the end of spring-2013. I will plunge into the job market soon. Anyone interested in hiring me, please do not hesitate to contact.

Research Interests

I am primarily interested in statistical data privacy and its relation to machine learning and data mining. More precisely, I study the privacy implications in problems spanning the areas of high-dimensional statistics, online learning and pattern mining. Most often, studying the privacy implications result in analyzing the algorithmic stability of existing learning algorithms. Recently, I have been interested in studying the interrelation between various privacy notions and their practical implications.

My formal training has been in theoretical computer science but I am equally interested in the theory and system building aspects large scale deployment of private learning algorithms.
