Staff profile

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science. Prior to this, I was a Post Doctoral Fellow at the University of Houston (2021-2022) and a Post Doctoral Fellow at the Technion (2018-2020). Before that, I completed my Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (2012-2018).
