I am a statistician by profession, and a structural engineer by marriage!
I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Indian Institute of Technology Madras in Chennai, India. We relocated to India beginning 2025 and are absolutely thrilled to venture into this new journey. I am currently working on some aspects of supersaturated designs and subdata selection for high-dimensional data. Prior to this, I was a tenure-track assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Binghamton University.
Before this, I did a postdoc in Informatics and Analytics program at University of North Carolina at Greensboro, NC, U.S.A. under the mentorship of Prof. John Stufken. I also worked as a postdoc fellow for a year in Faculty of Statistics at TU Dortmund, Germany and I worked in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Joachim Kunert.
I completed my Ph.D from IITB-Monash Research Academy (a joint program between IIT Bombay, India and Monash University, Australia) in Nov'2018. My Ph.D. advisors are Prof. Ashish Das and Dr. Daniel Horsley. In my Ph.D., I worked on finding optimal designs for several choice experiment setups. In addition, I also worked in the area of supersaturated designs, coverings, and pseudo generalized Youden designs. My thesis is available here. I was awarded the prestigious Excellence in Ph.D. Research award by IIT Bombay.
Prior to my Ph.D., I have worked in the predictive analytics industry for about 4 years at EXL Services and American Express. As a team-leader during my stint in the American Express, I created several state-of-the-practice models using machine learning techniques, subsequent communication of the results and intricacies of the models for its wider implementation earned me Chairman's Excellence Award for Innovation in 2013.
I am interested in doing interdisciplinary research, learning more and collaborating. If you have any ideas, please write to me.
