I am a Lecturer of Algorithms at the School of Computer Science, University of Sheffield where I am part of the Foundations of Computation (FOX) research group. I am interested in theoretical computer science in general. My primary research interest lies in computational complexity theory, more specifically in Boolean function analysis, query and communication complexity. I have an emerging interest in computational social choice.
Prior to joining my current role, I have been an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharapur, India from 2018 to 2025. Before that I have been a post-doctoral research fellow at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological Institute, Singapore from 2017 to 2018. I completed my PhD in Computer Science from the School of Technology and Computer Science, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India in 2017.
