I am a postdoc in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego.
My research interests lie in algebra. I was Andrew Snowden's PhD student at the University of Michigan, earned my undergraduate degree from the Chennai Mathematical Institute, and grew up in Kochi, Kerala.
I co-organize the Algebra Seminar at San Diego, and previously co-organized a Special Session on Tensor Categories at JMM 2026 and the Michigan Stability Seminar 2023-24.
