I am an Assistant Professor at IIT Madras, in the Department of Electrical Engineering.

I have a PhD degree from the Department of Electrical Communication Engineering of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru. Earlier, I received the B.E. (Hons.) degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from BITS, Pilani–Hyderabad Campus, in 2018, graduating with a gold medal. Post my PhD, I spent some time at India Urban Data Exchange (IUDX), a non-profit initiative of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Govt. of India, where I worked on differential privacy.

My current research interests are broadly in the fields of information theory and error-control coding, and in data privacy. My Ph.D. thesis was recently awarded the Seshagiri Kaikini Medal for the year 2023–24, for the best Ph.D. thesis from the ECE Department at IISc. A part of my work towards my Ph.D. thesis was awarded the IEEE Jack Keil Wolf ISIT Student Paper Award at the ISIT 2023.

My research has received generous support from Qualcomm Innovation Fellowships (QIF) India 2020, 2022, and 2023, and from a Prime Minister’s Research Fellowship (PMRF) 2020.
