I am currently a Teaching Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. My research and teaching interests lie in Theoretical Computer Science.
I was previously a research fellow at the University of Michigan where I was extremely fortunate to be advised by Mahdi Cheraghchi. I completed my Phd at Rutgers University under the guidance of Eric Allender, for which I remain extremely grateful.
Before graduate school, I received my B.Tech in CS from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati where I was extremely fortunate to be advised by Saswata Shannigrahi.
