My research is in the field of Algorithms, with a focus on Sublinear-time algorithms, and Approximation algorithms. I am interested in the design and analysis of efficient algorithms that work on large high-dimensional datasets, detect and exploit long range structure in the data, and are robust to perturbations, noise and erasures in the input.
I got my PhD from Boston University in 2019 and consider myself fortunate to have been advised by Dr. Sofya Raskhodnikova. Subsequently, I have held positions at University of Haifa Israel, Chennai Mathematical Institute India, and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics Saarbruecken.
