About Me

I’m currently pursuing an M. Tech. (Research) at IISc, Bangalore, advised by Prof. Shubhada Agrawal. At IISc, I am fortunate to be supported by the Cisco Center for Networked Intelligence Fellowship. Before this, I did my undergrad at IIIT Delhi, where I was advised by Prof. Manuj Mukherjee and received the Institute Silver Medal.

I enjoy solving problems in uncertain settings, and my current research focuses on bandit algorithms and sequential statistics. I also have a strong interest and experience in machine learning, statistics, and quantitative finance — including a stint as a QR Intern @ Millennium.

I’m always up to discuss any of these topics, so feel free to reach out!
