I'm a third year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of Maryland, College Park, where I am fortunate to be advised by Laxman Dhulipala and Aravind Srinivasan. Prior to joining UMD, I completed my bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar.
My research interests broadly lie in efficient parallel graph algorithms, approximation & parameterized algorithms for problems in combinatorial optimization with a focus on algorithmic fairness and differential privacy.
I love listening to all sorts of music (from Classical to hip-hop). If I had to choose an all-time favorite singer, it would be Shreya Ghosal. I'm a decent singer myself and can also play the Tabla (3 years of professional training). I'm trying to learn the keyboard at present.
I speak English, Hindi, Kannada and Telugu fluently. I enjoy reading fiction, especially thrillers and comedy.
