I am a PhD student, and recipient of the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Research Scholarship at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, where I'm a member of the Game Theory Lab. I am being advised by Prof Y Narahari. My broad research interests are Algorithmic Game Theory and Approximation Algorithms. My current work is focused on matchings. Specifically, I am studying the intersection of stability, incentive compatibility and various fairness notions for matching settings. I have previously worked on problems in fair division, sponsored search, pricing systems and permissioned blockchains.
I completed my M Tech (Research) from CSA, IISc, under Prof Y Narahari, in July 2018, with a thesis titled "Design of Trusted Market Platforms using Permissioned Blockchains and Game Theory".
I worked as a summer intern at IBM Research, Bangalore during May-July 2017.
I was a recipient of the Summer Research Fellowship at CSE, IIT Madras in 2015.
