About me

I am a Ph.D. student at IIT Gandhinagar. I am supervised by Prof. Bireswar Das. My research interests are mainly aligned with Graph theory, Group theory, and Algorithms. I am currently working in an area related to Weisfeiler Leman Algorithm and its applications. My research goals are to explore more about the Weisfeiler Leman algorithm that would help study the similarity of graphs and group structure. Later on, my longtime goal is to implement the finding in a graph neural network.


Before joining my Ph.D. , I have done master's in mathematics from CUSB and graduated (Hons.) from the University of Delhi.
