Resume

About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (E.C.E.) at U.T. Austin. My advisor is Prof. Sriram Vishwanath. I earned my B.Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (I.I.T.) Kanpur, India in 2008. I completed my Masters in E.C.E. from U.T. Austin in 2010. I am a member of the Laboratory for Informatics, Networks and Communication (LINC) and Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG).

Research Interests

My current research interests are in Graphical Models, Social Networks and Information Theory.
