I am a final-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Duke University, where I have the immense fortune of being advised by Pankaj K. Agarwal. Prior to this, I completed my Master's degree at the Department of Computer Science and Automation at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore.
My research lies at the intersection of algorithms, machine learning, and data management, with areas of focus including learning-augmented algorithms, algorithms for large-scale data analysis, learned database systems, and algorithmic methods for data discovery. I am keenly interested in bridging theory and practice; a major theme of my work is designing algorithms that combine provable guarantees with real-world efficiency.
