I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My current research interests are principled design of deep learning, imbalanced learning in overparameterized models. I am fortunate to have Prof Christos Thrampoulidis as my PhD advisor. Please see here for a summary of my selected research work.
Prior to joining UCSB in Fall 2019, I worked as a Senior Communication System Engineer at Maxlinear in Bangalore, where I was responsible for design, mathematical analysis and practical implementation of adaptive signal processing algorithms for 5G transceiver.
I have a Masters in ECE from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), during which my research was on Information Theory for Distributed Storage under the guidance of Prof P. Vijay Kumar.
