Hi, I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in computer science at IISc Bangalore, where I am advised by Anand Louis. I am also closely collaborating with Amit Deshpande from Microsoft Research and Sara Ahmadian from Google Research. Prior to this I finished my masters in computer science at CSA, IISc Bangalore, and bachelors in computer science at NIT Warangal. My research is supported by a Google PhD Fellowship award.
