I am a Ph.D. candidate at Yale University, where I am very fortunate to be advised by Amin Karbasi and Manolis Zampetakis. Before this, I received a B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Kanpur.

I am broadly interested in Machine Learning and Statistics – with a focus on the foundations of Generative AI, Causal Inference, and Limited-Dependent Variables. My research designs new algorithms, utilizes them to enable estimation and causal inference in novel settings, and explores the expressivity and limitations of modern learning paradigms.

Apart from Yale, I also worked at Microsoft Research and EPFL. As an undergraduate at IIT Kanpur, I received the Sri Binay Kumar Sinha Award for the best undergraduate project addressing a societal problem and represented IIT Kanpur at the ICPC World Final. I also teach at the Yale ICPC Club.

Here is my Curriculum Vitae.
