I was born in a city called Ujjain, in India. I lived in many small cities in Madhya Pradesh during my childhood: . Then finished high school from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Ujjain in 1998 and meanwhile joined coaching classes called Gutpa Tutorials.

In 1998 I joined the Computer Science and Engineering department at IIT Kharagpur. The first year at JCB hall was fun, but nothing compared to the masti I had at Azad hall, during my 2nd to final year.

Then I moved to Santa Barbara to pursue PhD in Computer Science department at UCSB. I finished my PhD working with Prof. Subhash Suri, in 2006. My research interests are developing algorithms for Sensor Networks and Data Streams. 

Fun Stuff:

I love playing volleyball and big time fan of movies (mostly action).
