I am a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University since Fall 2018. At CMU, I am affiliated with the CyLab Security & Privacy Institute and advised by Osman Yağan. I have been lucky to collaborate with Chai Wah Wu from IBM T. J. Watson Research Center and H. Vincent Poor from Princeton University.  I spent Summer 2022 working with the Robust and Safe Deep Learning team at the Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence. 

My research interests span applied probability, privacy, optimization, and machine learning, with a focus on networked systems. At CMU, my research has been recognized by a Best paper award at ICC, the MIT EECS Rising Stars, and the College of Engineering's Dowd Fellowship (awarded to top-3 applicants).

I completed my Bachelors and Masters in Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, India, working with Sharayu Moharir and  Ankur Kulkarni at the interface of optimization and game theory. 

I am passionate about making math and art more accessible to diverse audiences; more details on Outreach and Art. For my contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion, I have been awarded the Unsung Hero Award  at CMU and the Advanced Graduate Ambassadorship of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.
