Since January 2023, I have been a Research Fellow (hosted by Prof. Divesh Aggarwal), at the School of Computing, NUS, funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF) Singapore. 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 January 2025). Check my DBLP here.
I am a co-organizer of the NUS AlgoTheory Seminar. If you want to give a talk on topics related to theoretical computer science (broadly put), please shoot an email.
My Erdős number is 3 (Paul Erdős -> Noga Alon -> Sourav Chakraborty -> P.D.).
