About Me
I am a third year PhD student in University of Waterloo CS theory group, advised by Sepehr Assadi. I transferred here from the Rutgers University theory group. I am interested in sublinear and streaming algorithms, online algorithms and more broadly optimization problems. Recently I have been focused on proving lower bounds for streaming algorithms.
Previously, I was an undergraduate at IIT Madras where I worked with Jayalal Sarma. I also interned at Microsoft Research under Ravishankar Krishnaswamy.
