About me
I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the 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. In particular, I have been looking into clustering problems, as well as algorithmic fairness and differential privacy.
