I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of electrical engineering (EE) at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB), since May 2025.

I obtained my Ph.D from the Speech and Audio Group headed by Prof. T. V. Sreenivas at Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. I did post-doctoral research at the LEAP lab at IISc with Prof. Sreeram Ganapathy and at the International Audio Laboratories, Fraunhofer IIS, Erlangen with Prof. Emanuel Habets. Prior to joining IISc for Ph.D, I worked with Ikanos Communications India Pvt. Ltd. from July 2011 to July 2013 as a Firmware engineer working on VDSL2 systems. I obtained M.E in Signal Processing from IISc in May 2011, and B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from JNTU, Hyderabad in May 2009.

My research interests are in the areas of speech and audio processing, and machine learning. Specifically, I am interested in speech enhancement, multi-channel speech processing, conversational speech processing, multi-modal speech processing, diagnostic application of acoustic signals, compressed sensing and sparse signal processing applied to speech and audio.
