About me

At present, I am an Assistant Professor at the IIIT-Delhi, where I lead the Distributed Computing and Learning Lab.

Before joining IIIT-Delhi, I worked as an ISTPlus Postdoc Fellow at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, where I was honored to be hosted by Dan Alistarh.

Before joining IST Austria, I spent two wonderful years as a Research Staff Member at IBM India Research Lab, New Delhi, India.

Prior to that, I obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, supervised by Philippas Tsigas. Before starting my Ph.D. studies, I earned an M.Tech. (Computer Applications), supervised by Subodh Kumar, and an M.Sc. (Mathematics), supervised by Aparna Mehra, at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi, India.
