I am a Computer Science Fellow at Harvard university, where I am a part of the EconCS Group. I’m currently working with Prof. David Parkes on Machine Learning for economic systems and multi-agent system design. Earlier, I was a part of the Visual Computing Group at Harard University working with Prof. Hanspeter Pfister on Computer Vision Algorithms and Deep Learning for Connectomics - a large-scale effort to extract the wiring diagram of the mammalian brain at a nanoscale resolution.

Before coming to Harvard, I was a Research Fellow at the Machine Learning and Optimization group, Microsoft Research, India working with Dr. Prateek Jain on large-scale multi-label learning. I completed my undergraduate studies at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. I did my undergraduate internships at Computer Vision Lab, ETH Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Luc Van Gool and also at the Video Analytics Lab at CDS, IISc Bangalore
