I am a joint postdoc at DIMACS, Rutgers and IAS, Princeton, where I work in Theoretical Computer Science. My current research is centered around Coding Theory, Pseudorandomness and Spectral Algorithms.
I obtained my PhD from TTI Chicago where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof Madhur Tulsiani. Before that, I did a B.Tech. in Computer Science from IIT Kharagpur, India. Here's my CV.
