About

I am a final-year undergraduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, pursuing a B.S. in Statistics and Data Science. My research interests center on computational statistics and machine learning. I will be joining Duke University as a Ph.D. student in Statistical Science in Fall 2026. I currently work with Prof. Dootika Vats, where my research focuses on advanced Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and problems in differential privacy. I also work with Prof. Debasis Kundu on optimisation algorithms for LAD estimators. I have also worked on SWAP regression with Prof. Sharmishtha Mitra.

Previously, I gained industry experience as a summer associate at the Boston Consulting Group in Mumbai and academic experience as a research intern under Prof. S. Basu at IIM Bangalore.

Outside of academics, I have served as a coordinator for the Debating Society of IIT Kanpur and an editor for Vox Populi, the campus media body. I enjoy creative writing and publish poetry on my blog, Serendipity. I am also an avid reader, traveler, and dog lover.
