Bio

Hi! I am a PhD student at National University Of Singapore. I am doing my thesis with Prateek Saxena. I design scalable and trustworthy machine learning algorithms for learning on structured data such as graphs. I work on research problems that are motivated by practical relevance and at the same time have theoretical guarantees. In general, I am a systems security person and I am inclined to analyze the security of any newly introduced frameworks/ideas across all subfields of computer science. Attacks are interesting but defenses with guarantees are beautiful to me.

I have experience in program analysis, synthesis, debugging and security of blockchains.

History

In 2017, I graduated from IIT Kanpur where I was fortunate to work with Indranil Saha. I visited Prateek in 2017 for an internship before joining him as an advisee.

Work

I was fortunate to work with two exciting companies, Flipkart India and Aqilliz. Flipkart India (now owned by Walmart) gave me an opportunity to work on their anomaly detection engine. Aqilliz is an exciting startup from Singapore where I had a chance to demonstrate the impact of applying Differential Privacy protection on the utility of widely-used queries like recommendations.

Other interests

My interests range widely from Computer Science to Psychology, Astronomy, Music, Cricket and Animals. I love singing and relish performing almost anything on a stage(of course after practicing….). I will probably stay in Singapore for at least another three years, so, If you are here then feel free to drop by and say hoi.
