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.

Announcement. There is a post-doctoral research opening in our algebraic complexity group — final year PhD students can also apply.

So if you are interested in working with ROABPs and other algebraic computational models, check out the advertisement and apply soon!

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)
  • Algebraic pseudorandomness and meta-complexity
  • Query to Communication Lifting (wiki)

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.
