I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Dartmouth College. I am advised by Deeparnab Chakrabarty. My interests lie broadly in Theoretical Computer Science, especially in algorithm design. My current projects seek to develop approximation algorithms for certain clustering problems and covering problems. Generally, I enjoy thinking about algorithms and mathematical structures related to optimization problems, especially those that arise from operations research, social issues, and puzzles.

Before Dartmouth, I spent five enriching years at Chennai Mathematical Institute, India, where I earned an M.Sc. in Computer Science in 2020 and a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science in 2018. My Master's thesis was supervised by Prajakta Nimbhorkar
