I am a Lecturer in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science at the University of Essex, Colchester Campus. My profile on the University website can be viewed here. Before this, I was an Assistant Professor of Decision Sciences at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB). I have completed my PhD from the Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago. My thesis was on Extreme values of log-correlated Gaussian fields, and can be found here. Prior to that, I studied at the Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata, completing my Bachelor's with Honours and Master's in Statistics. For more details, you can consider my LinkedIn profile. 

My field of work is both Probability theory and Statistics. I have worked on logarithmically correlated fields, encompassing the discrete Gaussian free field, Gaussian membrane model, branching random walks, etc. I have also worked on interacting particle systems, particularly the Frog model, Rumour model and voter models. I am also interested in percolation theory and have been using techniques from them in my work. In statistics, I have worked on Bayesian methods in categorical time series and continuous forecasting based on partial information. These include using statistical techniques to predict the outcome of elections and the results of games. I am also interested in sports analytics. For more details, you can have a look at my CV and Research page. My ResearchGate profile and my Google Scholar profile can also be considered.
