Biography:
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Syracuse University, and an affiliate faculty member at EnCore: Institute for Emerging CORE Methods in Data Science. I am also a Senior Member of the IEEE.
My research lies at the intersection of coding theory, point lattices, and foundational problems in machine learning. I am particularly interested in how algebraic and geometric structures can be leveraged to design efficient, robust algorithms for modern data-driven tasks. Parts of my work are supported by the CUSE and SOURCE RA grants.
Prior to joining Syracuse, I held postdoctoral research positions at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Johns Hopkins University. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Purdue University, and earned dual undergraduate degrees in Mathematics (M.Sc.) and Computer Science (B.E.) from the Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Goa, India.
