Short Bio
I am a third year PhD student affiliated with the Information Processing Group (IPG) in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. I am fortunate to be advised by Yanina Shkel and Michael Gastpar. My research interests broadly lie in the union of theoretical computer science, privacy, and communications. Beyond my research endeavors, I spend time exploring the flora and fauna around me, learning languages, and reading articles on philosophy and international relations.
I spent the summers of 2024 at the Nokia Bell Labs where I worked with Christoph Füllner and Rene Bonk on developing change-point detection algorithms for continuous health monitoring in access Passive Optical Networks (PONs).
Previously, I completed my bachelors with a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IIT-P) in India. I have been fortunate to have worked with Sidharth Jaggi, Amitalok Budkuley, Yihan Zhang, Laura Luzzi, and Preetam Kumar on different projects during my undergraduate. My bachelors thesis titled 'Secure two-party computation: Information-theoretic Oblivious Transfer’, received the Institute Proficiency award for the best thesis in my cohort.
