About

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, advised by Prof Prakash Narayan. My recent work has been on analyzing the tradeoff between sampling and lossy compression in random fields. I am also interested in quantum property testing and variational quantum algorithms.

Before joining UMD, I obtained my BTech in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in 2019. There I worked with Prof Adrish Banerjee on classical coding theory bounds in discrete metrics. I also spent a summer at CUHK, working with Prof Sidharth Jaggi on adversarial channels, and a semester working with Prof Rajat Mittal on quantum query complexity.

I co-organize the Communication, Control and Signal Processing Seminar.

Research Interests:
Information and coding theory, data compression, random field models, quantum information theory
