About Me

I got my PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UT Austin in 2013, under the guidance of Prof. Sriram Vishwanath. I also earned my MSE degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UT Austin in 2010, and obtained my Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, India, in 2008.

Research Interests

My research interests lie in the topics of Wireless Communication, Information Theory and Graphical Models.
