I am a faculty member at the School of Technology and Computer Science at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai.
Previously, I was a Junior Fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Studies in ETH Zurich. I also spent a semester visiting Prof. Thatchaphol Saranurak at the University of Michigan. I completed my Ph.D. from the Theory Group at the University of Toronto, under the supervision of Prof. Sushant Sachdeva in August 2022. Prior to that, I completed my BS-MS in mathematics from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune in 2017.
The main goal of my research is the design of fast algorithms with provable guarantees for problems in optimization, machine learning, and theoretical computer science. My work leverages tools from optimization theory and continuous analysis.
