Advisor: Prashant Shenoy

I am on the Industrial Job Market for full-time positions!

My current research interests lies at the intersection of Systems and Machine Learning applied to smart-city applications such as healthcare and energy. I am supervised by Prof. Prashant Shenoy at Laboratory for Advanced Software Systems. I have collaborated with Dr. Rajesh Krishna Balan from Singapore Management University and Prof. Michael Chee from Duke NUS medical school on our sleep study project. I also started working as a student researcher with the IBM Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure team since June, 2021. Prior to that I was working as a Research Associate at IIT Bombay under Prof. Krithi Ramamritham.
