I obtained my bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India in 2003. I received my Masters and Ph.D. degrees from the School of Computer and Communication Sciences from Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland in 2009. After spending a year and half as a postdoctoral research associate at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, I joined the systems group at Qualcomm Research in New Jersey, US where I worked on several different projects on next-generation wireless communication technologies, indoor positioning and autonomous driving. I am a co-recipient of the 2021 and 2013 IEEE Information Theory Society Best Paper Award and a co-recipient of the 2016 ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC) Best Paper Award. My research interests include graphical models and their analysis, wireless communications, coding theory, machine learning and signal processing.
PhD from School of Computer and Communication Sciences, EPFL, Switzerland, June 2009.Â
I graduated under the guidance of Prof. Ruediger Urbanke and Dr. Nicolas Macris. My thesis work involved analysis of sparse graphical codes using statistical physics methods; my doctoral dissertation can be found here.
