Namaste! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Data Science at Indian Institute of Technology, Palakkad. 

Previously, I was a Visiting fellow at the School of Technology and Computer Science (STCS), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai and a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Communication and Electronics (COMELEC) at Télécom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris. I completed my PhD from the Department of Electrical Communication Engineering (ECE) at Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. Aeons ago, I was a Scientist/Engineer at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and later a consultant for Zoho Corp.

Motivated by applications in the Internet of Things (IoT), my research is focused on designing algorithms and lower bounds for statistical inference, compression, and communication under limited data access. To learn more about my research, please take a look at the list of my publications or my google scholar page.
