About Me

I am currently a Postdoc Research Fellow at the University of Texas, Austin with a joint appointment in the Department of Computer Science, Department of Statistics and Data Science, and the Institute for Foundations of Machine Learning. My research is also partly supported by EnCORE: Institute for Emerging CORE Methods of Data Science. I am being advised by Prof. Allessandro Rinaldo and Prof. Purnamrita Sarkar. Prior to Joining UT Austin, I completed my PhD from the Department of Statistics at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor under the supervision of Professor Ambuj Tewari. I completed my Bachelors and Masters from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.

Apart from research, I love to play piano and watch chess matches.
