I am a faculty member at the School of Computer Sciences (SCoS), in NISER, Bhubaneswar.

My research interests lie roughly around the theory of computation. More specifically, I enjoy thinking about problems about computation that have a mathematical/theoretical flavour, and I try to learn the mathematical tools that might be useful in tackling them.

Prior to joining NISER in my current role, I spent a year at SCoS as a visiting faculty. During my postdoc years, I was hosted by Ben Lee Volk at Reichman University, and by Or Meir at the University of Haifa.

Some of the areas that I am currently looking at are as follows.

  • Algebraic circuit complexity (know more)
  • Query to Communication Lifting (wiki)
  • Algebraic pseudorandomness and natural proofs

I obtained my PhD from the School of Technology and Computer Science (STCS) at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai. For my PhD thesis, I was extremely fortunate to be advised by Ramprasad Saptharishi.
