I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the TCS group at 'The Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc),' Chennai, India.

Originally from 'Belthangady, Mangalore, India', I moved to Mysore, India in 2010 to study Electronics and Communication Engineering at 'SJCE'. After completing my bachelor's, I worked as a Member of Technical Staff (Windows Application Developer) at AirWatch Technologies, Bangalore, India, for two years. Since my interests were inclined towards research in Math, I moved to Chennai, India to pursue Master's in Mathematics from IITM. 

After obtaining my master's degree, I joined 'NITK Surathkal', Mangalore, India to pursue my PhD specializing in Graph Theory and Combinatorics. During my Ph.D, I was advised by Prof. Suresh M. Hegde and Dr. Manu Basavaraju. Post PhD, I have worked as a postdoc in IISc, Bangalore, India (hosted by Prof. L. Sunil Chandran), and IMSc, Chennai, India (hosted by Prof. Saket Saurabh). During my PhD and postdoc tenure, I worked mainly on problems in structural and algorithmic graph theory. 

I am a passionate hiker, I enjoy hiking through lush green mountains, especially in the early mornings. I am a passionate badminton player as well. I'm always open to new experiences, cultures, and ways of thinking through traveling.
