I am a Ph.D. student in the
Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at the University
of Texas at Austin. My research advisor
is Dr. Joydeep Ghosh.
Before joining UT, Austin, I completed my undergraduate studies (B. Tech.,
Electrical Engineering) at the Indian Institute
of Technology, Madras. |
Research Interests
I am mainly interested in the following broad topics -Unsupervised/ Semi-supervised Learning, Clustering Algorithms, Information Theory, Convex Analysis and Privacy-preserving Data Mining.
