About Me
I am Assistant Professor at IIIT Hyderabad in the Signal Processing and Communications Research Center . I was a postdoctoral researcher in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ohio State University, working with Prof. Ness Shroff and Prof. Yingbin Liang. In August 2023, I finished my PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Syracuse University with Prof. Pramod K. Varshney and Prof. Venkata Gandikota. Before joining the sensor fusion lab at SU, I was a research associate with Prof. Neelesh B. Mehta at IISc Bangalore. I worked as a wireless engineer at Samsung Bangalore before joining IISc. I finished my MTech degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Madras. I finished my BTech degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from MGIT affiliated with JNTU Hyderabad.
Research Interests
Federated Learning, Large Language Models, Learning Theory, Robust Statistics, Deep Learning, Compressed Sensing, Group Testing
I'm always looking for collaborations. If you are a researcher with similar research interests, feel free to email me and we can set up a time to chat.
