Short Bio

Hello, Welcome to my webpage!

I am a first year PhD student affiliated with the Laboratory for Information in Networked Systems (LINX) and 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 broadly interested in research in Information Theory and its related areas.

Prior to this, I did my undergraduate with a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IIT-P), India. I have been extremely fortunate to be advised by Prof. Sidharth Jaggi (University of Bristol), Prof. Amitalok J. Budkuley (IIT Kharagpur), Dr. Yihan Zhang (IST Austria), Prof. Laura Luzzi (ENSEA, CNRS), and Prof. Preetam Kumar (IIT Patna) during my undergraduate degree.

I also love playing outdoor sports specially Cricket and Volleyball in my free time.
