Resume


About Me

I am a graduate student in the ECE department at UT Austin. My advisor is Prof. Sujay Sanghavi. I am a member of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group.

Education

Ph. D., Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, August 2009 - present
M. S., Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, August 2009 - May 2011
B. Tech., Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, August 2003 - May 2007

Work Experience

Summer Intern, CNLS, Los Alamos National Laboratory, July 2010 - August 2010
Analyst, Core Quant Group, Goldman Sachs, Bangalore, June 2007 - July 2009

Research Interests

I am broadly interested in networks and machine learning. In particular, I am interested in the design and analysis of algorithms for high dimensional problems especially where the underlying structure can be captured by a network/graph; application domains range from social networks and e-commerce to genetics. In addition to their practical significance, I am also motivated by my interest in the broad range of intellectual areas involved in their resolution: probability, graph theory and optimization.
