Resume

About Me

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

Research Interests

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