Hi,

I am an Assistant Professor at the Center for Security, Theory & Algorithms Research (CSTAR) and the Machine Learning Lab at IIIT Hyderabad, broadly interested in theoretical and applied computer science problems.

I did my Phd thesis on Computational Complexity theory (at TIFR Mumbai) and continues to have interest in Complexity theory, Combinatorics and Graph theory. Later I went on to do research (at IIIT Hyderabad) in Deep Learning, specifically Model Compression techniques and Semantic Segmentation for Autonomous Navigation. A summary of my research can be found here.

My group on Applicable Theoretical CS (ATCS) brings together students with interests in pure theory as well as various applied domains, to come up with solutions with rigorous theoretical grounding.
