About Me
I am a second year Master's student in the Computer Science
Department at Carnegie Mellon University.
I am fortunate to be advised by
Nina Balcan.
My current research focuses on Distributed Machine Learning, both in theory and practice.
Before joining CMU, I spent 4 wonderful years ('10-'14) as an undergrad at IIT Bombay.
Outside of academics, I'm passionate about basketball and music.
