About Me

I am a Research Scientist in the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab at IBM Research.
I am also a Visiting Researcher at Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, University of Texas at Austin.

Previously, I was a Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellow at IBM. I recieved my Ph.D in Computer Science from University of Minnesota, where I was fortunate to have Prof. Yousef Saad as my advisor. At UMN, I also had the pleasure of working with Prof. Arya Mazumdar. Prior to UMN, I received a B.E degree in Electronics and Communication from M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology.
