About Me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at ETHZ. Before joining ETHZ, I completed my Ph.D. at the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, EPFL, where my thesis is nominated for thesis distinction. I completed my undergraduate (and integrated master's) studies at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Varanasi, where I was awarded the institute medal for standing first in my class.
I have also worked at Microsoft Research, Qatar Computing Research Institute, INRIA (France), Centro de Informática (Brazil), and IIT Kharagpur.
