My research interests span network science, optimization, learning and privacy. My ongoing research at CMU focuses on developing mathematical frameworks for i) modeling spreading phenomena in real-world networks; and ii) designing resilient ad-hoc networks.
My Masters Thesis at IIT Bombay entailed optimization and game theoretic analysis of two-sided marketplaces.
