I am a Ph.D. candidate at Yale University, where I am very fortunate to be advised by Amin Karbasi and Manolis Zampetakis.

My research applies learning-theoretic tools to missing-data challenges (ranging from causal inference and truncated statistics to omissions driven by societal biases). I leverage these insights to assess the potential and limitations of modern AI systems, often contributing novel tools back into learning theory.

My work has received the Best Paper Award at COLT, been featured in the WIRED, and received the Sir Binay Kumar Sinha award from IIT Kanpur. As an undergraduate, I represented IIT Kanpur at the ICPC World Final. I also teach at the Yale ICPC Club.

Here is my Curriculum Vitae.



Recent updates:  
Together with Moses Charikar, Chirag Pabbaraju, Charlotte Peale, and Grigoris Velegkas, I am organizing a tutorial on language generation at COLT 2025.
