My research interests cover interesting problems that lie at the interface of economics, mathematics, and computer
science. In particular, I enjoy working on interesting algorithmic and computational challenges that arise in problems
pertaining to social good or having a game-theoretic flavor. Currently, I am exploring various fairness notions in machine learning related concepts, dynamic, and online algorithms. I extensively use tools and techniques from algorithms, game theory, optimization, probability theory, analysis, and topology.

I am an S. Eilenberg Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, and Mechanics (MIMUW) at the University of Warsaw, Poland. Here, I am a part of the AI and Economics group.
Before that, I was a Lise Meitner Postdoc fellow at Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Saarbrucken, Germany for two years where I was a part of the Algorithmic Game Theory group headed by Prof. Kurt Mehlhorn.
Previously, I spent two wonderful years of my life at the Computational Complexity and Game Theory group at the Dept. of Computer Science, Aarhus University (Denmark) as a postdoc, hosted by Prof. Ioannis Caragiannis.
I received my PhD from the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in 2021 where I was advised by Prof. Siddharth Barman (CSA) and Prof. Mrinal K. Ghosh (Mathematics). I have received the prestigious IBM PhD Fellowship and a commendation certificate for my excellent Ph.D. thesis from the Dept. of Computer Science & Automation (CSA, IISc).
