Summary

My primary research interest broadly lies at the intersection of probability, stochastic control, information theory, and learning theory, where I seek to develop new analytical tools to design fast, fair, and intelligent algorithms with provable guarantees. Prior to joining TIFR, I was with the Dept. of Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras as an Assistant Professor. I recieved my Ph.D. from MIT, where I worked on throughput-optimal algorithms for general network flow problems at the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems. This work won two best paper awards at top-tier international venues.

During my Ph.D., I spent two wonderful summers at Bell Labs (Murray Hill, NJ) and Microsoft (Redmond, WA), working on resource-allocation problems. After my Ph.D., I worked at Qualcomm Research, San Diego, on efficient scheduling problems for 5G systems. I obtained my Master's degree from the Electrical Communication Engineering department at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engg. from Jadavpur University, Kolkata.
