### UC Santa Cruz

I am a postdoctoral researcher at UC Santa Cruz, working with Prof. C. Seshadhri. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Dartmouth College, where I was advised by Prof. Amit Chakrabarti. I completed my masters at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) under the supervision of Prof. Amit Kumar. Before that, I was an undergraduate student at Jadavpur University. Somewhere in between, I have spent a couple of years at IBM Research Lab (New Delhi) and Adobe India.

My research is broadly on the topic of foundations of data science. In particular, I am interested in large graph analysis. My work lies in the intersection of theoretical computer science and data mining. I am also interested in algorithmic fairness. In the past, I have enjoyed working on approximation algorithms and arithmetic circuit complexity.
