I am an Assistant Professor in the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore. I am spending Fall 2025 as a Jane Street Fellow at the Simons Institute, UC Berkeley in the program on Complexity and Linear Algebra.
Before joining NTU, I was a Research Fellow (Postdoc) hosted by Prof. Divesh Aggarwal, at the School of Computing, NUS, funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF) Singapore from January 2023 - June 2025. I finished my Ph.D. (2018 - 2022) in Computer Science from CMI, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Nitin Saxena (IIT Kanpur). During my PhD, I was supported by Google PhD Fellowship (2018 -2022), and was a Visiting Research Fellow at IIT Kanpur. I obtained my master's degree in computer science (2016-18) and bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science (2013-16) from CMI.
Here is my CV (updated in July 2025). Check my DBLP here.
My Erdős number is 3 (Paul Erdős -> Noga Alon -> Sourav Chakraborty -> P.D.).
